Serious investors look 10 to 20 years in the future. Everyone used google and youtube in 2006, but youtube wasn't profitable til 2016. How could a business burning money by hosting video ever be profitable? Costs come down BUT THEY JUST ADDED 720p, cost comes down, BUT THEY ADDED 1080p, cost comes down, 4k! cost comes down.

IMO the data from chats alone is worth $200B to Google.

The investors will get their money back on the IPO. They'll dump all their stocks in the market and run away, leaving retail with the bill.
