Trouble in Twitter land?

 

[canada-man]

it's due to twitter starting SJW censorship

Let's hope not otherwise how will we get our daily fix of lovely ladies like Lani, Valeria Beleza, Naomi Nixion, Becky Richardson and so many others?

Trouble in Twitter land?

Doubt it.

When it comes to big internet sites, even unprofitable ones will somehow secure loans.

These kinds of companies should be lucky that in today's world, IPOs can bring mountains of cash where they can use those billions of bucks to withstand decades of losses before perhaps actually going broke (Webvans). If this was 1990, many of these types of businesses (low revenue, high cost, low profit) wouldn't even get an IPO. And if they somehow did secure funds, it would be for $10 million, not $10 billion worth of stock sale.

Not trouble. Just the suits taking charge of the company instead of the tech guys. It's been like this for a while there, only it's finally gotten to the top.

Very few unicorns have turned a profit yet.

Even Uber hasn't profited yet. Constantly expanding costs more money than it currently brings in.

Airbnb, you name it.

Hopefully....

But not likely.

No great loss, save for the visual content as noted above.

They're not in trouble but I wouldn't invest in them. It's a company known to have bad management.

I don't follow the stock price but I heard on the radio this morning that Twitter stock is trading at $15 (an all time low) and roughly half its IPO price. I vaguely remember Twitter saying they didn't want to repeat the Facebook experience and see the stock price sink below the IPO price.
