So to replace Twitter's current revenue at those rates, you'd need something like 170 million blue check marks or 3 million corporate accounts.
How many do you think is realistic? Reducing your revenue by an order of magnitude to reduce your headcount by an order of magnitude seems like a bad plan.
- criddell 5y agoWhy focus on revenue rather than profit?
- saalweachter 5y agoRevenue puts a ceiling on profit. You can't sell at a loss and make it up in volume, but you also can't make more profits than revenue. Right now there are 360,000 blue check marks on Twitter. If I spot you the first million blue checkmarks and the first 100,000 business profiles, that's only $144M of revenue per year. Even if that is 90% profit, $130M / year profit on a $50B investment is not particularly brag-worthy.
