#2> Quitting Instagram: She’s one of the millions disillusioned with social media. But she also helped create it.
Interesting how the people making these social media platforms are growing disillusioned with them and leaving them.
After they've made their money, of course.

Reminds me of ex-presidents/ex-leaders who have regrets about decisions they made when we depended on them. Now when they're washed up and have zero clout, they're suddenly on our side again.

I would be surprised if they didn't get millions in equity though. Not a bad gig.
I would guess their options had a strike around a $10-$20 million valuation. So they would have got x50-x100 at the exit.
