Considering the 18 billions price tag and the current mixing of user data between meta and WhatsApp I believe that meta has now revenue streams in mind than just the API pricing
The less people pay for software, the more companies are forced to look into other forms of monetization (and of paying engineers).
The idea of users paying (even 1$ per year) for whatsapp has already died, now we are normalizing companies not paying for it? Fuck that, software engineers should be paid. Stop normalizing stealing.
