Twitter stock has been FLAT for 9 YEARS.

They don't have one. The purpose of Twitter isn't to make money.

It's to shape and control the narrative.

Do you understand how trendlines work?

Looks flat to me.

And certainly a complete dog relative to tech stocks over the past decade.

Draw a line on that chart and see which way it points baw.

I see where a long term stagnant investment would trend flat, but that is the fault of the investor.
If I bought a stock at $18 I would happily sell at $45.

The idea of decentralized social media platforms, search engines, communication networks, currencies, dpvns etc. has a lot of merit for freedom, and sometimes requires trust (something that is very difficult to give to someone in growing environment and sometimes halfway across the world). Often, intruding entities seem feel the need to get a grip on it to operate within the platform (run a node etc) for the purpose to monitor, influence and control. Some of the decentralized applications are often created with the sense of free(dom) in mind, and some are often free(cost) and they are sometimes and often unprofitable even with good intentions.

Should I start where it peaked at $71, or at the beginning to where it climbed to $71?

It's cherry picking dates and data, but I understand it just fine. The only data of importance as an investor is where I see it climbing or declining to over the next 12 months.

For years and years, tech stocks like apple, Facebook, Google have been named as great long term investments.

Twitter has never been in that group
