How does that make it too big to fail?

Are people worried about their deposits? Was Twitter too big to fail? Myspace? Digg?

Did Twitter fail?
Yes.
It has failed to remain good/worthwhile. But what I meant is that it's too big to go away and get replaced by something else completely. It has so many users staying there out of habit/inertia, it will take a decade for them to dwindle away.
Aside from some advertisers leaving, what other metric are you basing this on?
less users overall

less tweets per user (down by 25%)

less time spent on the platform

less overall visits

> side from some advertisers leavin

that's some understatement!

Ad Sales: down by 59%
