So a badly engineered app that is a UX nightmare and has a general discoverability problem seems to be losing to a high quality app that has huge network effects backing it and that took the only USP Snapchat had (disappearing pics) and implemented it in a much better manner.
And somehow this is a bad thing because hating on FB is fashionable in these parts.
- ymse 10y agoI recently introduced two friends to Signal (because they couldn't get me on Snapchat). Later I caught one party sending a "snap" to the other and asked why not use Signal instead, and the reply was something about ease of use. It turns out, sending a one-off picture with Signal is one click less than Snapchat. Also, normal people don't care about privacy.
