It’s a nice meme about Twitter being an atrocious business etc (and it wasn’t great/it was struggling for much of its existence), but Twitter made $1.2 and $1.4 billion in profit in 2018 and 2019 respectively.
Wasn't lifetime profitable
Like most high-growth tech businesses throughout most of their lifetime. Fair critique of the industry at large IMO, but it’s very much “by design.”
