$29 per human user or per account? There's a big difference here.
$29 per human is a steal, however if 9/10 accounts are bots, spammers, or dead, that's $290 per human which is a total ripoff.
- imagist 10y agoThe number I cited was their claimed active users. I'm not sure why you consider $29 per human user a steal. There are two sides to a transaction--what you pay and what you get for it. What exactly do you think investors are getting for their money here?
- astrodust 10y agoJust compared to other industry metrics.

- imagist 10y agoThat's exactly why we're in a bubble. "Because other people are paying even more" is a really bad reason to pay too much for something. But that's the entire basis of Twitter's price--it's people investing in Twitter because other people are investing in Twitter (and other such companies) with no concern for whether that investment will ever return a profit.
