I apologize I don't have a source on this, but the scuttlebutt is that Twitter was not doing well before the 2016 election, and that everyone reeeeeeeing on Trump is what caused a surge in their traffic.
With the growing sentiment against Twitter, I think their days are numbered. I see normies all over referring to Twitter as "toxic" because of all the SJWs and cancel culture. Unless Twitter literally reverses course a full 180 degrees to get rid of that, this sentiment will just build and build until people don't think Twitter is fun or cool anymore, and then they'll abandon it for the next most popular platform.
Cultural Marxism is a race to the bottom, a race to who's "most oppressed". It will never get better unless they literally change their entire fundamental worldview. Likely not going to happen. Hundreds of millions of people throughout history have chosen death over changing their worldview. Twitter as a company will "die" as in become irrelevant because the competition is gaining market share.
We're in the midst of Web 3.0. Free speech and/or decentralized and/or self-hosted competition is the next BIG THING. Just like how Web 2.0 led to MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc. it's now going back to the consumer having control of their own privacy, not some sketchy data center hosted in the middle of a desert.
