What This Means

X / Twitter's ARPU of $8.00 per North American user is the headline number. But the actual value attached to your individual data is roughly the 20% slice — around $1.60/year. Age, device, and interest targeting can push that higher. For context, users aged 35-54 are typically worth 15-20% more, iOS users command 2-3x the CPMs of Android users, and luxury or finance interests can raise your value by 1.5-1.6x.
