The Reasoning
Twitter has business audience concentration and high conversion rates but lacks native famous creators, creating first-mover advantage for sophisticated business builders
What Needs to Be True
- Twitter maintains business audience concentration
- Platform remains stable and creator-friendly
- Someone builds sustainable business model beyond just content

Counterargument

Develop high-value products that justify premium pricing
