> If Facebook’s goal was stop Snap in its tracks, it’s largely succeeded with Instagram Stories. Snapchat’s monthly active user growth rate has plummeted from 17.2% per quarter to just 5%... Does HN think that these two events are even related? From my experience, the content I get via Instagram Stories is mostly from people I don't know but follow whereas Snapchat is still where most of the interactions with my friends happens. The products have similar features but the audience, especially being public-facing, is totally different in my experience.
