This is why YouTube is a platform with value and Twitter isn't.
- Entinel 4y agoMarketing on Twitter is far more valuable than other platforms.
- BbzzbB 4y agoThat's silly. While you can't directly monetize your Twitter account, it can expand or straight up create your reach which you can use as a funnel to whatever monetizable content you have. That probably makes it less valuable for Twitter Inc., but it sure is valuable for Twitter users. As a recent example, think of Pieter Levels (@levelsio). You think he would've gotten $10k first day sales on his avatar AI project without his Twitter account's reach?
- CamelCaseName 4y agoYou can absolutely monetize your Twitter account directly. Sponsored Spaces Ticketed Spaces Super Follows Paid Newsletters Tips Twitter has made it INCREDIBLY difficult to find these products they've built, the insane thing is that they appear in one app but not others!
- ARandomerDude 4y agoSome dude just paid $44B for Twitter. Presumably that means it has value.
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoWhile true, that dude also tried super hard not to pay $44B for it.
- dragonwriter 4y ago> Some dude just paid $44B for Twitter. v Yeah, but that did a hasty negotiation that resulted in a no-due-diligence contract at that figure, tried very hard to escape the deal, including openly repudiating it and being sued to be forced to consummate it, and only relented and agreed to close on it in the face of court action to force him to which might have imposed additional costs as well. So, while it is probably worth something, we can say that it is pretty clearly not worth $44B in the clear light of day, even to Musk.
- lostlogin 4y agoOne of them sold recently and we can put a pretty solid number on its value.
