Ask HN: How the hell is Whatsapp worth $18 billion?
$40 per user someone calculated to be.
My question is, how is it $40 when the app itself is free and doesn't get the $40 from the user?
How will Facebook monetize it?
The moment they track users or show ads won't people leave and a new Whatsapp emerges?
Please help me understand how MAU without pay from user's wallet works because porn sites have a lot of MAU and they are not getting bought out, and they are free and offer value to the users as well.
