        Notice that late 2014 or early 2015 is when U.S. user growth suddenly flatlines. The stock price decline begins shortly thereafter. What happened in late 2014 and early 2015 on Twitter that could have caused user growth to flatline?

        How confident are you in those user numbers?

        Great question. If anything, I think they overstate users more as time goes on. This is because Twitter has an incentive to over-report growth, and because bots proliferate and become more sophisticated over time.

        Twitter IPO was only 11/2013. 🤷🏻‍♂️

        You have been reported to the Department of Chart Crime. (Having start dates 4 years apart is misleading whether intended or not)
