A lot of people underestimate that Snapchat has already captured a whole generation and formed their network graph on their platform. Another thing to remember is that this new 'format' that Facebook is ripping off is very much a cultural adjustment. I do not expect Facebook's most active users right now (30-60 years old) to be pulling out their phones out every 5 minutes, opening the Facebook app and taking pictures of themselves and what is around them. Snapchat has captured the audience that does do this, and it only happens on their app.

- dmihal 9y agoI keep seeing posts about how great Facebook's DAUs are for their Snapchat clones. This may be an anecdote, but my Instagram stories are mostly older people and brands. Snapchat is still where I go to catch up on what my friends are doing, and it's even more popular with younger generations.
