So they have two options. Maximize revenue and become a legacy company retiring the largest dividend they can or try to invent the next thing
$1 billion for Instagram, which has provided a lot of value.
$17 billion for Whatsapp, which is still a glorified chat app regardless of how much try to turn it into something else.

One was bought at the bottom of the market, one at the top.
Good example of how easy it is to get something wrong.
