On January 4th, 2023 Term Sheet, a well-known financial newsletter by Fortune (typically regarding PE/VC) posted a series of predictions regarding the calendar year 2023.

One of these predictions was the following:

“Following Twitter acquisition chaos—multiple centralized and decentralized sites including Mastodon have popped up as Twitter replacements with multiple brands and advertisers cutting ties with the platform at the end of 2022. However, it is my prediction that by the end of 2023, users will return to Twitter—but how much Twitter will change in a year will be a surprise to us all.” —Michael Jones, CEO and managing director, Science Inc.

I will not attempt to initially define all resolution criteria in this market and will instead attempt to handle any nuances/complications/data feasibility as it arises. If by end of 2023 I think it is not possible to confidently resolve this market in the spirit in which it was intended, I reserve the right to resolve as "n/a".

Any clarifications to the resolution criteria will be listed below, along with the applicable date:

bought Ṁ350 of NO

Should be strictly lower than /SneakySly/will-twitter-have-more-daily-active , given that there's ambiguity on the second part (no idea how to evaluate that) in addition to just users not returning.

bought Ṁ20 of NO

I think he's trying to say "I have no idea how much twitter will change" (yay unfalsifiable statements). I think I'm betting on "No surprising changes at twitter", and that that will be close enough

@citrinitas Since you are the only trader thus far, would you be open to me splitting this market into two? I think this actually functions better if these predictions are split into component parts.

nevermind - I ended up just creating 2 others.
