And how exactly is 263M for 10 years "going downhill"?

  Every large number sounds impressive, don't get yourself caught in that mind-trap. Divide the number by their employees, check earnings/winnings, subtract investments, compare to other companies and draw your conclusions again. If I make $1000000/year, that's great. But if it takes me 1000 people to do it, that's less than $100 per person per month.

    It was bootstrapped, from what I know the original 4 founders used to own 80% of the company a year or so ago.

    And what if they started with 4 and ended up with a 1000?

    Which prove what kind of value? Oh wait, I know. Cats pictures and yet another chat app. #Sigh I really hope that all these overpriced startups which provide zero value and plans for "ads revenue" get what they deserve, and then we'll speak about "value" at all.
