Snapchat is my favorite social network because it is too difficult to spread political opinions or share clickbait articles. The only easy things to do on it are to record a funny video and share it with your friends.
I can comfortably open Snapchat knowing I'm not going to be confronted with low-effort shares of third-party content or lazy copy+pasted political memes. Sharing that content is certainly possible to do in Snapchat, but it is difficult enough to discourage people to do so.
I certainly like to hear other political perspectives --because of my past career I have lots of friends with opposite opinions from the Bay Area prevailing beliefs. I just prefer it to be on my own time and not in the cheap clickbait reductive fashion popular on Facebook and Instagram.
If only Snapchat were profitable. I really hope they pull it off.
