Why does Twitter's stock never go up?

I can't go a day without hearing several references to Twitter, be it because of Trump or some celebrity, politician, etc.
I remember when the stock debuted at a bit over $40 a share and went up for a little while before slipping down to the mid 30's, after which it crashed into the upper teens. It's been there for a long time. The only recent uptick was due to buyout rumors, after which it slipped back into the mid/upper teens.
So what's the deal? If Twitter is so popular and everyone hangs on its every word, why does it seemingly have no value?

Because their business model sucks and they can't monetize their popularity.

Do you know how many social media companies like twitter ever even become cashflow positive much less ever live up to their ridiculous valuations?

Is twitter that popular tho? Older people prefer FB and younger people prefer instagram and snap.

Then what do the middle aged people prefer?

Because they can't find a way to make money and the company is run by a complete assclown.

Setting up an ad is a major pain the arse.

A combination of these:
1- Can't figure out how to monetize the platform
2- Jack Dorsey is terrible
3- Extreme censoring of right wing activists scare off investors

Seems like it would be ripe for a buyout, but if true, current management might want to hold onto it to ensure the slanted flow of ideas.

I don't use anything that remotely resembles social media. Why let people know your opinions and stuff about you? Especially people you don't know.

If I was in charge of twitter, I would allow users to buy up to 10 extra characters for a nickel a character. I think there are many people who would pay a nickel or dime to not have to go back and change tweets or find abbreviations to meet the 140 characters. That is one way to monetize.
