$569.2M of earnings on Q3, and you want it to be worth $3-4B?

Why everyone ignoring the financial facts?

I don't like or use Twitter/Vine/Medium. But those guys generate load of money even that it look like they don't...

Not trying to nitpick, but wasn't it $569.2M of revenue, not earnings? I believe they lost $132M in Q3.

It's not nitpicking when correcting a meaningful mistake.

That's $569.2M in revenue, not profit.
