Whatsapp when it was acquired cost $1/year (with a year long free trial) and had a billion users and 55 employees. They were printing money.

As far as I remember they didn't ever really collect that money though. I certainly never paid it. I'm not sure they ever even implemented payment on Android.

Obviously hard to source this old stuff but I found an old Reddit comment that backs up my recollection: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsapp/comments/xesw29/comment/io...

I'm fairly certain that I paid once for WhatsApp back in the day (on Android)

EDIT: just checked my payment history and in November 2013 I paid €0.89 for "One Year Service"

They were collecting. Everyone I knew was paying.
