Over 85% of the US is not on twitter. It's not at all comparable to television.
replyOnly 36% pays for cable TV. Seems pretty comparable to me.

If anyone's curious, 98.4% of US households had television in the mid 90s (most likely the peak). In 1960 it was 90%.
replyAnd I would wager that the numbers are still very similar. One doesn't need to pay for cable TV to watch TV these days.
replyIf you're implying ~60% of the pop is pirating cable I don't believe it's anywhere near that high
replyedit: oh I think you meant streaming-only. Yeah, maybe a lot higher...I don't have a good gauge on that
Streaming only, OTA+streaming, etc.
replyThe only people I know under the age of 40 with "cable TV" use it pretty much exclusively to watch sports.
That's a higher percentage of the population than those who voted for the winning candidate in the last presidential election.
replyI wouldn't say that's comparable to ~15%.
There's a pretty radical difference between the statements "I don't have cable" and "I don't even own a TV".
replyI know lots of people who spend an immensely unhealthy amount of time in front of TVs (even me from time to time, not judging), and few of them have a cable subscription.
Over 60% uses Twitter in Japan, behind only to LINE and YouTube. Also comparable if English was not language of business.
replySurely not. Twitter is a niche social networking site. It’s something like 1/6 the active user base of Facebook, which would be the better comparison.
replyThis seems really out of touch tbh.
replyNot even close. Any given social network is not ubiquitous, socially.
replyNot really. More like the modern equivalent of "I don't watch Fox News."
