I confess I am at a loss to explain how twitter makes money. There are no fees, no ads. What gives?

Twitter makes the majority of its revenue through ads, and secondarily through ‘data licensing’, whatever that is.

How Twitter Makes Money

Short version: Ad sales and user data sales. They operate at a loss. Many people have come to think it is not a profitable business model. That may be the case, even with free speech.

It’s one of those “famous for being famous” things. The advertising model attached to it doesn’t work, but big companies continue to buy ads because they heard that twitter has a big audience. Twitter then looks like a viable company because it has big advertisers. Rinse and repeat. It’s a house of cards.
