Yeah, but Instagram and WhatsApp have billions of users. Everybody has heard of them. Advertising on Instagram generates revenue.

Wiz is a SaaS b2b startup. Even on a forum for startups most people haven't heard of them.

Wiz reportedly has a revenue of 750m. It would take Google 30 years or more to break even on this deal. But like all bs startups Wiz will fade into irrelevancy 6 months after being acquired.

Google is getting completely scammed.

Instagram was roughly 10 people when it got bought, had less than 30M users and $0 in revenue.
