MODERATORS
I wonder if they'll sell or go down in flames.
If they sell, it'll just become overly moderated like Facebook.
If they go down in flames, a bunch of overnight competitors will compete to succeed.
The US is a tiny market compared to the rest of users, why would they ever sell?
It's their second highest market after Indonesia? They dragged this out as much as possible in congress and in court because its valuable to them.
It's valuable, it's not as valuable as the entire rest of the world combined. The US simply doesn't have the user share to demand the service be sold off.
