> Let’s say you figure out how to run a company with 100M customers with only five employees.

That's not how it works. I'm pretty sure you and I could write a Snapchat clone in a weekend. This doesn't imply we'll ever reach 100M users.

You could write a Snapchat “clone” but not with anything close to its performance. Snapchat has to be the most performant app I have ever seen.

Is this new? I tried it out a couple years back on a decent spec phone and it was the slowest app I've ever used. I'm pretty sure Snapchat the app was known for being sort of a wreck at some point. My daughter still put up with it but it was painful to watch her use it.

I have a fairly high end Android phone (OnePlus 3) and Snapchat freezes up all the time. Video pretty much always stutters without fail. IIRC it was the same on my Nexus 5 as well.
