TWTR has been padding their MAU's for over a year to report a min of flat growth instead of negative MAU's. Last year, they claimed "oops" when they "accidentally" counted business/marketing accounts as MAU's which would've put their MAU's in the red. Last quarter certainly didn't reflect the millions of bots and shady political accounts they claimed to be purging. If we don't see that reflected in the numbers this quarter then that should be a major red flag. When MAU's are down they pump the DAU stats without releasing the criteria for determining what constitutes either or the data to back the numbers up. They've been very shady with reporting their user numbers but we know enough to see that US subs are declining and global growth is tiny compared to other major social media companies which have grown by hundreds of millions of users in the same period. User growth hasn't helped to increase revenue... only cost cutting and squeezing a few extra pennies out of their remaining user-base has with the lack of new and lucrative initiatives going forward. This is right in their flat growth chart and mediocre guidance. TWTR is just trying to hide the fact that their toxic platform has peaked and is dying a long lingering death for as long as they can.
