- ascar 6y agoYea. I also find it hard to believe that WhatsApp wouldn't be profitable with $1 per user per year. There is a lot you can do with $2bil a year. I think I read that Brian Acton called out Sandberg on that once. That it wasn't just about profitability, but greed.
- eznzt 6y agoThey were supposedly charging that, but the first year was free, and then every time you were close to running out of free time you would get x more free months. I chained those free months for years until it became completely free. So it was actually free to use.
