Its ability to sell advertising is subject to its ability to attract users who will view and, advertisers hope, click on ads. At various times since the company was founded in 2006, it has faced serious declines in its stock value. In 2015, for example, stock value declined despite revenue growth of 74% and 111% in the company’s latest quarterly and annual results, respectively. Investors had reason to be skeptical of Twitter’s potential. At the time, its user base of 302 million users was much smaller than Facebook’s user base of 1.4 billion users. In addition, newcomers Instagram, founded in 2010, had experienced rapid growth, and its user base now rivaled that of Twitter.

In a 2003 study entitled The Other Drug War II, Public Citizen’s Congress Watch noted that during the 1970s and 1980s, drug companies in the Fortune 500 had average profits rates (i.e., as a percent of revenues) that were double the average for all other industries in the Fortune 500. During the 1990s drug company profits rates averaged 4 times the average profits rates of all other industries, and during the first 5 years of the twenty-first century, drug company profit rates were about 3 times the rates of other industries.
