To be fair, that Whatsapp deal still looks insane. Still no meaningful revenue coming from that end 8 years later

Except the revenue that they potentially would have been losing out on had they not acquired their competitor.

Nobody really knows how much that would be.

But everyone will make up a number to support whatever side of the argument they are on.

In any case, Whatsapp as a standalone company would definitely go bankrupt. The infra cost would be insane with such little revenue.
