We'll never truly know if instagram could've stuck around had it not been acquired.

Twitter is an indispensable communications medium that has more than 1 use case (read news, talk to friends, overthrow a government, etc). Thus ads makes sense (and I would even pay a low, yearly fee to keep it around).

Snapchat is interesting, but $100 million interesting?

Non-tech people probably say the same thing about GitHub...
