Yep, inequality is not great. The fact that a guy can make $15M in a year by building a social network in the era of FB/Snap/WhatsApp/Instagram is pretty great.

Not trying to take away from your point but I think the company that made TBH were trying to make a hit app since 2013 when they did their seed round:

It took nearly 4 years of probably not making much before they hit pay dirt with TBH.
