You're very welcome. This is an old logical fallacy known as the "Texas Sharpshooter" (along with other types frequently used by some SA authors) to downplay tangible progress of a company. Subs gained from the World Cup and total subs gained are not mutually exclusive. In this case, it's funny how they try to cherry pick a positive factor and spin it into a negative one to suit their argument which is really grasping at straws IMHO. Subs/tweets are up... that's the important result as it demonstrates they have scalable resources and interest for increased use of their products and services globally. It was argued TWTR couldn't do this and once they had they try to brush off the results or move the goal post.
