Came here to say cost-cutting. I'm not sure that Twitter will sunset itself.
Craigslist remains an institution, even if its impact is beginning to lessen. Twitter is a protocol, and an excellent one. If it continues to serve as a backbone of public-domain discourse, it can remain relevant for the foreseeable future.
WhatsApp had 55 employees at the time of acquisition, with 0.5B monthly users. Twitter currently has 0.3B monthly users and 3860 employees.
I keep considering TWTR, even had a limit order open for a while, but keep walking away.

- fragmede 10y ago> Craigslist remains an institution, even if its impact is beginning to lessen. Is it? It's a private company and so is not subject to the same disclosure rules as a public company, so no one outside the company can actually say how they're actually doing. Meanwhile, as a publicly traded company, TWTR is required to publish all sorts of information about the site's popularity, for critics to play armchair CEO with.
