They officially charge $0.99 a year. They charge in app after the first year. Every time it popped up by me I pressed remind me later, and it didn't ask me for another few months at least.

They are paying mostly in stock, so when the bubble busts, they will have paid less.

And FB is paying north of $40 per user. Insane.
Irony is the mobile carriers could have just blocked the app to preserve texting revenue.

Exactly.  The changed the whole plan landscape from limited minutes/sms with unlimited data to limited data with unlimited minutes/sms once they realized that nobody would pay for minutes or texting anymore because they had unlimited data.
