Only on a superficial level. How often do you really find yourself looking up your friends' five year old Facebook posts? On Twitter, the UI actively fights back even when you want to look at old tweets. Anything that drops off of the front page of the timeline is as good as gone, Snapchat just formalizes it.
And for what it's worth, TV is becoming less and less TV-like every day, now that we have Netflix and on-demand everything.
- flycaliguy 10y agoI agree as far as likes, status updates and so on go. For photos though, especially profile pictures, Facebook serves as a timeline of somebody's life. I've been going to school with young people lately and I'm blown away that their profile picture album can trace back to childhood. It's freaky, I'm grateful to have been able to slide through my youth without public photographic evidence.
- jonknee 10y agoI don't use Facebook, but I frequently look back at old Instagram posts. Before Snapchat every photo service let you look at old photos (and indeed, that was half the point!).
