Googles ad revenue fell around 10% in the same period just based on secular trends. Twitter fired their ad sales team and angered their ad partners. It seems perfectly feasible they added a 30% drop. Also investor calls are extremely easy to source because there are so many people on the call and most of them have no vested interest in keeping the numbers secret.

> Twitter fired their ad sales team and angered their ad partners. Which was just baffling move to me. We're not selling enough, so fire the sales team and let the product sell itself? How does that make any sense? I suppose they could have been thinking Blue check-mark sales would magically plug the hole, but that was quickly proved to be a stupid, over-optimistic idea.
