Not enough data yet!

Will this NA if there are no reliable numbers because they stopped releasing the data?

bought Ṁ200 of YES

Why did this drop so precipitously and why are the major NO holders just bots?

predicted NO

@benshindel I believe that they’re trying to keep it in line with this other market, which has some comments explaining the decrease (various news sources showing that Twitter has decreased in users in the last year)

Will Twitter have more Daily Active Users at the end of 2023?

21% chance. This is intended to be part of a series of markets evaluating how Twitter is doing a bit over a year after ownership by Elon Musk. At the end of 2023 if Twitter has more daily active users than it did in 2022 this market will resolve YES. Google suggests about 237.8 million daily active users.

bought Ṁ10 of YES

Twitter monetizable,

daily users undeniable.

2023 will see a rise!

Musk claimed that Number Go Up after he took over. I am not convinced, and my prior before knowing this was a question was definitely in the ~50% range. Given it is Musk who will decide what counts as a mDAU, and he is inclined to want to brag and has several ways to shift the probabilities here, I’m going to give the edge here to growth. I’m buying M100 of YES, brining it to 54%.
