WhatsApp had a $1 annual fee and 400M users prior to FB acquisition. Just FYI.

  I know that but it's not that they had $400M in revenue. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25666270 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25666270 FB never charged for whatsapp for a good reason.

    In the UK I remember it being both a small required annual fee and very popular - but that's just as anecdotal as the comments in your link.

    They did/do, just not in direct payment.
