instagram value for subscribers
\begin{equation} \text{value per subscriber} = \frac{\text{instagram acquisition price}}{\text{instagram subs}} \end{equation} \begin{equation} \text{value per Subscriber} = \frac{\text{\$1,000,000,000}}{\text{100,000,000 subs}} \end{equation} \begin{equation} \text{value per Subscriber} = \text{\$10 per subscriber} \end{equation}

    • once you get it, it's printing money
    • stocks go up or down a ton depending on approval
