Snapchat cuts IPO valuation from $25bn to $18.5bn

Can someone explain to me how something like Snapchat would be worth even 500 million, let alone remotely close to this 18+ billion? These kinds of valuations from the past few years <i>scream</i> &quot;bubble&quot; to me. This sort of thing is so far beyond the realm of reality that it&#x27;s way past the point of being funny. It&#x27;s a... farce? It seems like the industry pretends to not understand the word &quot;million&quot;, and instead only consider the term &quot;billion&quot;, whether or not the individual company&#x2F;situation deserves it.
