Yep. Saw that after I posted. Makes more sense to me now. The numbers weren't adding up. Instagram, for example, is worth multitudes more than Twitter, and that has to be for a reason.

I immediately knew that the O-T would have a civil conversation about this topic.

That graphic specially says “website visits” aka desktop web or mobile web.

Instagram for sure gets the vast majority of its traffic via the App. That’s the reason TikTok isn’t on the list, for example.


And that's why Instagram was a "distant third" for me in regards to the google metric. It's a bit more like Facebook in that people enter the ecosystem and then browse. TikTok is similar, but it's so huge at this point.

I'm trying to think of sites that I think a large percentage of people intentionally use google to navigate. The three that come to mind immediately are "(search term) twitter", (search term) reddit", and "(search term) wiki/wikipedia". I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but those three, I assume, have an unusually high percentage of their traffic driven by search engines as opposed to in-ecosystem searches.

it had gone down in valuation but under Elon's guidance it is making its way back to being worth what he paid for it and will pass it.

I don't agree with everything he's done, but he is trying to make it profitable.

This is a well-driven message. The company I work for uses a large 3rd party marketing company and has been beating the “twitter is bound to fail since Musk bought it” drum pretty hard. So much so that I’ve had to mandate using X as a platform or else. Ridiculous

Is this supposed to make up for the fact that advertisers are still leaving there?

Can anyone with an acct leave a community note? How does this work? Are community notes vetted? What if the community note is bullshite but the original note isn't?

Common knowledge, even Elon admitted it was only worth half what he paid for it at one point

quote:

Everyone knew that Twitter wasn’t worth $44 billion when Elon Musk bought it a year ago. Now, we know what Musk himself thinks it’s worth today: $19 billion.

On Monday, employees at X were awarded equity in the company at a valuation of $19 billion, or $45 per share, according to internal documents seen by The Verge. That price is a 55 percent discount to Musk’s original purchase price, per the documents, which note that “the fair market value per share is determined by the Board of Directors based on a number of factors in a manner that complies with applicable tax rules.” (Musk is X’s chair and has yet to create a formal board.)

As of November 2023 Twitter has a market cap of $41.09 Billion, that's pretty close to 44 billion

Didn't the NYPost write yesterday that Vivek Ramaswamy(???) was sinking in to the oblivion because he wanted to host a debate on X instead of traditional television?

They worried they might not be able to completely control what media people consume.

So you know there is a difference in what Elon thinks Twitter is worth vs the market cap, correct?
