> Instagram only became sustainable under Facebook.
That's an incredible leap to say IG couldn't develop their own ad network as a stand alone company. Hire a few people away from Google with options in a growing company the same way FB did.
If IG didn't sell they would have fully killed Facebook's relevancy by now.
- throwaway4715 6y agoYeah, but the IG founders didn't want to put ads on the product at all. It was not a sustainable business while in their control.
- seppin 6y agoDo you have a source that they refused any ads at all? There's a difference between having a few tasteful ones and overloading it like it currently is.
