Nothing will happen, exactly like the last 14 years with the employees being paid salaries while users run the site for free. Why do you think an IPO will be treated differently?

None of that's very relevant here though, other than showing that I'm intimately familiar with the dynamic from spending a lot of time on both sides of it.
