To make money, you either need to help others make money, or help people get laid.

Advertising is a possibility but it would ultimately be a failure given the investment that has gone towards Twitter.

Paying for a premium Twitter account isn't going help either. For most people, Twitter doesn't help them make money or isn't a status symbol.

So perhaps the business model needs to be to help people get laid somehow. Listen, people want to either get rich or get laid - do 1 or the other and you'll make a lot of money.



Seems like quite the oversimplification. So everyone in a committed relationship is trying to get rich and everyone else is either trying to get rich or laid? Sounds like a theory that may apply say to people under 25 or so, but it doesn't really model any real world beyond that that I have ever seen.
