> Twitter must be bleeding DAUs
Secondary indicators seems to indicate DAU is surging. I don't know why you'd think it would drop from controversy this kind of shit is what people live on twitter for. Real question is is it sustainable and can they actually monetize it.
> The ads are also really weird and odd.
Twitter has always been an embarrassment in terms of targeted ads.
- 542458 4y agoWhat secondary indicators are you referring to? And yeah Twitter ad targeting has always been confusing to me. Some people here are saying it’s because they fired that team, but it’s been weird for years. The automatically determined interests listed in the settings were 85% completely irrelevant to me. At various points I’ve been given ads for restaurants on a different continent, HIV medication (I’m not HIV positive), and nuclear engineering consultants (not my industry at all).

- tremon 4y agoSecondary indicators like the number of times Twitter is mentioned on HN, or in the news in general?
