How is Twitter being monetized? Facebook? Uber? Instagram?
Say what you will about valuations in general, but Snapchat is rare in that they've produced a physical product and set some sort of future goal in hardware (specifically cameras). So If everyone else gets a C, I'd at least give them a C+.
- aianus 10y agoWhy is Uber in that list? They provide a service to consumers in exchange for money, unlike the rest of your examples and Snapchat.
- accountface 10y agoUber is Uber because of software. Take it away and you have a cab company that exploits contractors (which based on the history of cab companies is really saying something). The last Uber I ever took was a 20 minute drive that cost me $3.75 — I had a conversation with my driver about his cut of the fare, and tipped him because I felt guilty about how absurd it had become. Uber's recent losses are unparalleled and largely stem from driver subsidies because they aren't actually charging a sustainable fare for the service they contract. I honestly don't think they're a real company. It's all a farce.
