Holy cow is Twitter ever garbage at showing you anything even slightly more complicated than a single 140 char comment. Threads, stories, conversations, and any other kinds of actual information is a maze of _see_others_ and _see_more_ and broken context.

That's partly by design, of course. But it should surprise no one that you can't monetize that very well.



I don't see what that has to do with monetization, assuming people are indeed still using the service


They are using the service to go somewhere else and spend their time. That is not monetiszable.


Google search seems to do OK despite almost exclusively being used to take the user somewhere else


Thats because Goggle in general make a lot of money from where they send you. Twitter doesn't.
