Snapchat turns down $3billion from Facebook & $4billion from Google UPDATE: $10billion valuation

[Stealth]

Its already been monetized with tinder plus.

Instagram was overvalued as well. Its more about data collecting. Companies like Google and Facebook make money of your information. That's why they wanna buy up all these apps with large userbase

exactly they wanna control and have every picture taken on phones

Its all potential.

I think Tinder is a great app with potential to keep growing AND be monetized properly.

Snapchat on the other hand makes absolutely no sense to me. Messing around with the experience on that app will probably piss most people off...and you can't ever charge for it. I would have taken the 4 Billion and ran. I can't believe its valued at 10B right now.

Its them advertising dollars. When a company buys a company you are registered to, through process you are automatically registered with that company. You'll have to take action to opt out when TOS changes. Snap chat can be monetized, probably something annoying like seeing a gillette add after the picture destroys itself.

What amazes me is how facebook and google gain such ad revenue, but its because of the low maintenance compared to the high use base.

tinder plus sucks, you simply cannot charge people to date...its ridiculous IMO

Facebook already has Tinder's userbase info...so it will have to be some other company to snatch them up.

Snapchat is too simple to monetize without pissing people off. I've tested the app and still think its shyt.

It's either Amazon or Google that will swatch them up eventually.

but theres no mandatory advertising on snapchat.. its optional to look at it.. and its rare they even come (like once a week at most)

They're trying to easy people into the ads with the optional feature. They will eventually have to enforce it to make net profit.

a year later and snapchat is bigger then ever and still rising in popularity

We'll see how it rides out, breh.

Snapchat hasn't changed the world. Over 70% of its users are women, and over 70% of its users are under 25. I'm not convinced.

A bigger company will buy it out and sustain it for a while but in my opinion, and obviously it's only that, there's a ceiling and snapchat isn't far off it.

it is what it is either way. I don't fukk with it

Billionaires in Stock. Not necessarily in cash. The Snapchat CEO said this himself despite being rich.

so its not liquid

We'll see how it rides out, breh.

I thought that was well known?

I'm a little disappointed with tinder, I thought a well thought out plan was in place to monetize.
