Now that everyone uses Facebook, Gmail, Amazon, Twitter on a daily basis, the average person thinks of those as simple 'websites', that are easy to build.
I'm really surprised that people actually look at the websites of multi-million dollar internet-only companies and think it must be easy to build something worth that much.
Why does it matter to the average Joe how much a random Tech company is worth? at the end of the day, it's all made up anyway, and the vast majority are waaaaay to concerned with their next payment to think about that stuff anyway.

I'm really surprised that people actually look at the websites of multi-million dollar internet-only companies and think it must be easy to build something worth that much.
I would estimate that 99% of the people I know that use Facebook / Twitter / Gmail etc. think they are worth basically $0.
After all, who do you know that has paid to use them?
(obviously, I understand the reality, but most don't)
Now that's depressing.
