I don't understand why they don't just charge accounts with more than X followers. High profile brands are (currently) getting a massive amount of free advertising. I'm sure they would be willing to pay to keep up their profile.

See Mailchimp, free up to 2k subscribers, paid after that. It's so simple.

I think some terminology might be in order... net income = revenue - expenses

So, was your net income $65,000 or was your revenue $65,000?

I had no clue they were profitable. With "over $3 billion in revenues" and "total company expenditures ... were less than $800 million" that is quite the ROI.
