Is snapchat still a thing? Never used that but I thought from screenshots and memes that tiktok killed it (never used that either)

I think it’s still used a lot for private messaging?

noodlejetski ,

“private”

Player2 ,

I think you mean ‘direct’ messaging

Maybe. I’ve only known Snapchat used for sending pictures of one’s privates, which is quite direct now that I think about it.

Mt family/friend group use it as a way to send pics/videos since MMS isn’t great for that… at least that’s what they say, I don’t have it.

Definitely, I have a few group chats. It’s good for general memery and snapping funny things throughout the day.

I asked the same question, my friends all abandoned it for Instagram years ago, but I (an American) am seeing a lot of Europeans using it during my travels

Gen Z loves it for some reason

I never understood that. Apparently they use it as a primary way of messaging each other? At least that’s what younger relatives have told me. I’ve tried to have them explain what makes the app designed to hide/delete stuff after it’s been read better for communication, but so far haven’t gotten an explanation I could make any sense of.

Until and beyond.

I wish we made more offensive memes using established brands that way we can keep their ads out of our online spaces

I would like it very much if the first thing that came up in a casual search for any business was sweaty rule 34 fantasies

Well if this happens I’m getting rid of it. Yeah I’m older and I use it. But it’s great for the girlfriend and I to quickly send messages and nsfw things. Now that I think about it, I only use it because of her.

These ads will be the last straw. The stupid AI chatbot forces itself to the top of your list already, and above that, they throw in a stupid Snapchat+ ad! Oh yeah, in order to delete the AI bot as a friend, you need Snapchat+…

sunzu2 ,

nsfw things

Why would you use unencrypted social media for that?

You do understand that Snapchat keeps a copy?

sunzu2 ,

Yes 🤡

No it isn’t: I don’t use SnapChat!

SuperSleuth ,

Are they stupid? In fairness, I don’t know how they’re making any money at all. I’ve never seen anyone interact with the discover feed and therefore see ads. There really isn’t a way to monetize Snapchat without killing it off.

Jokes on them, I don’t have any.

Oh. I made myself sad.
