Sure.

> mainly used for sexting.

Is this actually true? It hasn't really been my experience, but maybe my friends are prudes.

> I agree that there is something in combing asynchrony and ephemerality, but come on. Nothing run by the likes of Evan Spiegel is going to threaten Facebook. He's not in the same class as Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates. He's not even in the same class as me. He's a rich kid and a lottery winner and should have sold at $3 billion and let someone else run it.

The amount of butthurt in this comment is off the charts. You just took butthurt to 11.

Mark Zuckerberg was also a snotty, privileged rich kid once (he's not a kid anymore). In any case, who are you to put limits on what some 20-something kid is capable of? Because you have a lot of imaginary points on a comment board? Maybe his success is due to luck, or maybe it's because he didn't spend his time tearing down other people on a comment board.

Anyway, go ahead and build out Quality Social. Take the $3B offer, or maybe you should decline it because you're in another class.
