It's not like Snapchat is an esoteric thing. Using it can be a function of how outgoing and expressive you are. Or if you have some purpose.
The same reason you post on Hacker News is why people post on Snapchat -- to interact with others.
- jzymbaluk 10y agoIt also depends on whether you have friends that use Snapchat. I'm 24 and a college senior, so within the right age group, but none of my friends use Snapchat. It's only fun if you have friends who use it.
- Domenic_S 10y agoPosting on HN (or reddit, or...) will never die, because you get to correct people who are wrong on the internet. Snap not so much...
- mi100hael 10y agoI don't think that's quite right. Snapchat does have a chat feature which allows you to essentially send feedback on peoples snaps/stories, so you could absolutely tell people they're wrong for making some statement.
- ewtasfasgs 10y agoSure, but it's far from part of a community discussion. There is no such thing as a snapchat community, just contact lists.
- atomical 10y agoI think it was a joke.

- _audakel 10y agofb started out with younger ppl, and then gradually older ppl got on, tell now when like my feed is blown up by my grandma.
