I think this is the right answer. Whatever disappointment may or may not exist with some of their other bets, their stranglehold on our attention continues to exist. I mean, you have really, really strong competitors like TikTok out there, and FB property usage GREW. In the developing world, Whatsapp quite literally has a stranglehold on communication -- full stop. Whatsapp for Business in a lot of countries is in its infancy... payment processing/etc. is surely a "willingness to do it" question rather than one of whether they can or not. It just sounds to me all in all like Zuck is trying to be ready to play a really long game. What all of this reminds me MORE of is the constant ridicule you'd hear out of Microsoft around mobile computing and the internet, only to realize it a bit way too late in the process that they had missed a trick. I think Zuck feels he has enough money to spend to not miss the next trick.
