WhatsApp pre-Facebook acquisition was phenomenal. Had close to half a billion users paying $1-$3 per year. I think the team was no more than 15 and profitable.
It was actually private and secure, and obviously sharing no metadata with Facebook as it does today.
Oh, what coulda been. Gotta build and support Signal now. (WhatsApp cofounder Brian Acton is executive chairman of Signal now.)
I have used it since 2010, never paid a penny. Moving friends and relatives to Signal has been a waste of time, I feel like I have the first fax machine in the world.
