Greedy Tech Titans are Never Satisfied

Hopefully, more people will abandon Facebook. And that interest in UNA will continue to grow.

Obviously, the red-eyed Mark Zuckerturd is not satisfied to have taken over a huge percentage of the world's advertising market. Now he needs more money for his AI data centers which will take up enough power for hundreds of thousands of homes.

These data centers will allow for even more fake AI content on his platform. More ad revenue and more opportunities to sell user's personal information.

      Who really knows the full story of Instagram and WhatsApp, and how Mark actually negotiated those deals?

      WhatsApp at the time wasn’t really making money. It was owned by a small group of founders who strongly believed in user privacy, and they made a promise that they would never sell user data to advertisers. Because of that, they had to find another way to sustain the business, and at one point they introduced that simple message — “To continue using WhatsApp, please pay $1.” That was their model. Meanwhile, WhatsApp had a strong edge over Facebook Messenger, which just wasn’t as popular back then.

      So when Mark approached them wanting to buy WhatsApp, they refused at first. They even pushed back, saying what he believes in is basically the opposite of what they stand for, and they weren’t willing to compromise their promise to users. The negotiations were tough and a bit ugly from what people say. But in the end, the deal became hard to walk away from — around $19 billion, plus they could still stay on and run the company.

      Now Instagram was a different story. It was started by a young guy, and the platform just took off, especially when celebrities started using it. The features made photos look clean, sharp, and just better overall. So when Mark came with a $1 billion offer, it was accepted pretty quickly — and honestly, who wouldn’t take that?

      WhatsApp wasn’t making money like Instagram could, but it had something more powerful — people preferred it. It dominated messaging, and Mark could clearly see it was becoming more favorable to users than Facebook Messenger, and that’s something he couldn’t ignore.

      There is more to the story of WhatsApp, but that’s for another day when I have the time to tell it.

      Regards

      Chris
