I think it actually may be a fun problem. statuses/sample is about 1% of the firehose. But, you have to account for shitposters like me who are grossly over-represented and who crowd out user_id's.

What's the definition of statuses and sample? Intent of tweet?
-
`statuses/sample` is the twitter api endpoint. It returns approximately (but I think less than) 1% of the firehose tweets.

Twitter last reported their Monthly Active Users on their Q4-'18 financials: https://s22.q4cdn.com/826641620/files/doc_financials/2018/q4/Q4-2018-Shareholder-Letter.pdf … They have a different definition of monthly users, but it can serve as a baseline.

Thanks, Chris. It is useful — I just need to be within an order of magnitude.
