No way this isn't a dumb aquisition. They could have cloned it for a very small fraction of the cost. Would they get adoption? Yes, they are the biggest player

No way this isn't a dumb aquisition. They could have cloned it for a very small fraction of the cost. Would they get adoption? Yes, they are the biggest player in the space. 20 billion for Figma is insane

Facebook could have cloned Whatsapp or Instagram, but thats a risky bet. By buying figma they are getting all the users and their trust for the product. Which is difficult with a new product

  Again they are adobe, literally the biggest brand in the space. Their user base trounces figma's

  The argument is this isn't sustainable. They can't keep on buying the next Figma for $20B again and again.

They tried cloning it… that’s what XD is. Didn’t exactly go well for them.
