This is the only correct answer, IMO.

all the other pundits miss that if the deal was for existing source of revenue, it would have been priced as modestly as those are.

So you think there will be 4-5x as many ads and "click tiny [x] to actually see the contents" ads ? I don't see how else they can leverage the platform to make significant cash.

I don't think anything :) just that the price, if it were reflecting existing revenue sources, would be much lower.

The seller and buyer both agree that the promise of something else is what was traded, as the price proves.
