<strong>Messaging is a Moat, not a = Business (5 minute read)</strong>
</span>
<span style=3D"font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
Messaging platforms command astronomica=
l acquisition prices, but they often flounder when left to stand alone in t=
he public markets. Messaging is perhaps the most valuable loss leader in di= gital history. It creates massive utility, commands unparalleled user atten= tion, and offers high retention, but captures almost no direct financial va= lue of its own.
