Just a thought, but before that crash, I wasn't actually using ANY of the websites that were valued so high. And I think not a lot of people really were?

I read about the big investments back then, but to me, they never became more than a headline. Never a place to visit. More like "a place that I should visit, sometime in the future". It was full of promise, not of value.

Though now, I use and actually pay for many services. I feel like they add a certain value that, back then, nothing did.

Now, a billion dollar is a lot. But A billion people is too.
