Is their plan still to make money via ads in the stories? How will Facebook's new features (basically a clone of Snapchat) affect this?

- rc_bhg 10y agoUnknown! All of these are unkowns.
- chrishacken 10y ago> How will Facebook's new features (basically a clone of Snapchat) affect this? Just based on usage within my circle, I don't see FB's clone attempts affecting Snapchat at all. FB is actually starting to piss me off with all of the spammy push notifications they keep sending out. If anything they're going to lose market share from people like me uninstalling their apps. "(name) just posted for the first time in awhile" "(name) just started a live stream".
- yomly 10y agoThe Facebook app is incredibly hungry (on Android). Dropping the all brought me hours of battery life and per charge and hours per day from no longer finding myself randomly vegging on my feed. I use a home screen web shortcut - it looks like an app and runs quickly. You won't regret the jump.
- eachro 10y agoYup. I've also found that I check FB less often using the mobile site, which has also been good.

- spyspy 10y agoThe last Messenger update is literally Facebook's 4th attempt to clone snapchat (poke, slingshot, IG updates, now this). They're desperate.
- delecti 10y agoAnecdotally, I've seen a steadily decreasing stream of posts on Snapchat stories and a steadily increasing stream of posts on the equivalent IG feature.
