Timeline views were down nearly 7%, suggesting users were refreshing their feeds less often.

(1) Twitter makes most of its revenues from timeline views

(2) Timeline views are declining

(3) When a recently IPO'd company's biggest money making product is on the decline in terms of usage, that is hardly a rosy picture.

Sure, it is certainly debatable that "rosy" was the right choice of words here (it probably was a bit bombastic). But unless your plan is to claim that it is impossible to be optimistic about this situation (which is more or less the position I have taken issue with), then I'm not interested in having this discussion.

I'm open to the possibility is wrong; I'm not open to the idea that this debate about the semantics of "rosy" is the most interesting thing to be said here.

Sorry if this is a bit blunt.
