At this point if the artist doesn't have good hands I'm just going to assume they're AI.

You said yourself your company is not finding advertising with twitter to be worth doing. So how is it not badly run if it is worst than its competitors at selling ads, and it's not profitable while its main competitors are?

Retweets are significantly more powerful than what instagram or facebook has as equivalents. That's because in twitter retweets appear almost as if the retweeter posted it, but the interaction goes directly to the original post, as opposed to facebook/instagram where its obviously a share and only a fraction of the interaction ends up with the original post (similar to a quote retweet in twitter).
Users are also conditioned to retweet in twitter, hence why getting something retweeted by someone big can easily make a tweet go viral, hence why you see all kinds of viral tweets by someone with like 1k followers appearing all the time.
The entire 18+ adult content community is powered by retweets alone, as they're all shadowbanned by twitter but retweeting between the 18+ community has allowed adult content creators to gain hundreds of thousands of followers and funnel into their patreons/onlyfans. All of this Twitter doesn't see a cent of, while their own ad tools are nearly useless in comparison.
Facebook/Instagram/Tik Tok are profitable, hence why Twitter is poorly run compared to them. It has models it can follow but seems to be unable to do it well. I remember when super follows released last year. Almost all onlyfan accounts use twitter as thier main funnel, so had this been actually pushed it could easily put onlyfans out of business, but there's basically been zero talk of it after its initial launch and I don't know anyone who uses it.
I know a lot of artists who have to funnel twitter users into their shops, and its really hard as twitter deboosts any posts with any kind of link or even the words that mention buy or shop in the text. So a new image post can get 100k+ likes but its basically impossible to funnel people who are interested in purchasing the product to an actual link. There should be a way for people to pay to embed a buy button on the post or something. Instagram introduced that feature a few years ago and it seemed to have worked out pretty well.
There are just so many things twitter should be doing to monetize but the platform is barely changed from 5 years ago.

Twitter advertising is by far the worst out of the major social medias. However, twitter retweets are extremely powerful and I know people who charge businesses 3k for a simple retweet.
Basically, twitter had a powerful way of advertising but they didn't have any control over it or able to make money off. The whole company is just poorly run hence why they were never profitable.

Twitter had by far the worst ad revenue ad tools out of Facebook/Instagram/Tik Tok. Its why they were so unprofitable this entire time.

According to world bank in 2022 the US consumer market is bigger than China + EU + Japan put together (converted to USD). A lot of Chinese people are still relatively poor. Spending/saving habits are quite different between Americans and Chinese too.
