Imagine if Facebook didn't buy Instagram. They must have seen this coming.

  Yeah, you have to give it to Mark Z for his prescience on that one.

    And a flag to regulators for not blocking or at least more heavily investigating that acquisition

      I dont know if they would have had anything to be wary of. Instagram was much smaller then and even tech savvy folk like us HN folk didn't think much of it at the time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3817840 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3817840

  Yep.. the instagram guys sold to early.. Well that being said maybe Facebook would have developed an instagram killer but the separate entity sure helps.
