I get the frustration of seeing your pride and joy used in ways that you hoped to avoid. But he likely would have retained more control of WhatsApp if he stuck around and played ball. Now he has some money, zero control, and he has absolutely scorched the earth for his co-founder or anyone else who wants to minimize ads or find alternate monetization options.
- randomsearch 8y agoWhich cofounder? They’ve both left.
- jamesmcnalley 8y agoThe other co-founder left later, and it’s unlikely that the acrimonious departure helped.
- gaahrdner 8y agoThe guy is worth $6 billion according to Wikipedia, he and his cofounder will probably be ok. Maybe we'll see something good come out of this with his involvement in Signal?
