Isnt it basically a messaging service that could be knocked of by a few nerds in their garage? What gives?
It has a massive log of metadata worth troves if exploited with modern tools correctly, a large backend of servers and technical assets, a widely recognized brand, and a large userbase.
Do you intuitively see the value or does someone have to simplify it?

Because the troves of valuable and exploitable metadata are locked behind two primary components:
1. A gap in the existence and use of analytical tools applied to the metadata through the back end.
2. A knot of corporate ineptitude in management.
A buyout allows a reshuffling of the board, which would lead to a reshuffling of management, allowing the second hurdle to be surmounted. The yield of the first hurdle is a matter of speculation: whether you think the data is worth ~1 billion annually in yields, less than that, or more than that. So the price of the company is going to drift up and down until somebody buys in at a price that fits their speculative scheme. Meanwhile current shareholders will keep that management knot tight in order to obscure the company's true value vis a vis opaque management practices.

How on Earth did you get a reservation THERE?
