You might be confusing their reported numbers with total inactive accounts. They regularly report their Monthly Active Users which have been >1B recently.


MAUs were 2.38 billion as of March 31, 2019, an increase of 8% year-over-year.

I was confused in the same way and thought the 2B+ accounts figure usually reported was total accounts.

So how many accounts, active or inactive, bots or humans, are there in total?


Don’t think they publicly reveal this as I’m not sure it’s relevant or important to investors/advertisers.


It is very relevant. It just looks very bad when you see the actual numbers.
