Telling someone what criteria they should use to make their own decisions is quite arrogant, and out of line.
If you want to use the stock price as your sole metric for deciding on accepting an offer, that’s up to you.
Define "add value", because otherwise I'm laughing hard at this notion.
If you define it purely as "produce a product that people enjoy using or find useful", then sure, it adds value.
But at a higher level, asking if it's a net positive on society as a whole, and I'd say Twitter will never succeed at that. Social media has caused a breakdown in political discourse where people no longer seek to understand, but instead seek to "win", and Twitter's short message limit completely eliminated any possibility of actual conversations in favor of 140-character[0] zingers that are nothing more than ridiculous straw men. Nuance is a thing of the past.
[0] I know it's 280 now, but for the longest time it was 140, and I'm not sure the difference really matters. It's still incredibly limiting.
I have a NLP/linguistics hobby,and Twitter has been a fantastic gold mine for generating corpora for "low-resource[1]" languages. No other social network is as open as Twitter is to scraping such information, and I have no confidence this will be the case if it's taken private to "unlock value". Hell, I even planned to use a Twitter bot to generate parallel corpora (for translations) since Twitter provides easy and free access to native speakers of almost every language that is currently spoken on this planet.
I'm just a filthy casual, I bet there are hundreds (or thousands) of PhDs and papers that would not have been possible without Twitter; I have no doubt that Twitter adds value to society by virtue of its breadth and openness. Sadly, Twitter is also is detrimental to society, by virtue of its breadth and openness; but I know which side is easier to monetized.

The real arrogant move is jumping into a conversation to tell someone they are arrogant without any evidence to back it up.
Second, a large amount of your comment history is just telling people how "out of line" their comments are. There is a downvote button for that. Stop spamming it. It is you who is out of line.
The downvote button is for low quality comments, not for disagreement. If you had been here for any significant length of time, you would know that.
It’s also a bit ironic when you say “stop spamming” from a sock puppet account you created specifically to reply to my comment, but you probably already knew that when you did it.
I said they were a sock puppet account created three minutes before leaving their one and only comment as a reply to my own. These claims are verifiable, and their behavior lowers the standard of discourse in this forum.
You can address their point and move on. Leveling accusations unrelated to the point lowers the standard of discourse too.
edit: to add to this, the claim that this is a sockpuppet is not a verifiable claim.
