~$30M revenue in 2014 from 600M users.
The vast majority of people will leave your service if it goes from $0 to even $1. So no, I don't think they could "easily" scale that up.
- vladoski 5y agoYes, but when I was younger, everyone that I knew, even digital illiterate people, paid that fee. Why? Because WhatsApp was (and is) everywhere.
- rglullis 5y agoIt didn't go from $0 to $1. It was always "$0 to most, $1 for those that really didn't care about paying because they knew that anything else would have much higher real costs" Hell, If WhatsApp ever got to say "Facebook wants to buy us, but we are also considering changing to a pay-what-you-want model to avoid selling out", I'd easily give them $10/year without batting an eye.
