Snapchat needs to cut 60% of their workforce and then relentlessly focus on the iOS platform. Make a better spectacles and make it work only on iPhone. Let the Android app languish. This is the only way to long term success. This way they maintain exclusivity and also able to polish the app much better. For example the shit transferring experience on spectacles can be easily fixed if they optimise it for iPhone. And then the people who bought it may have actually liked it a bit.
- btian 9y agoI hope you're not CEO of a publicly traded company
- dingo_bat 9y agoI'm not. I wish you would have actually taken the 2 minutes to explain your comment.
- lobf 9y agoYou think that would signal a healthy company?
- dingo_bat 9y agoYes, I think concentrating efforts on the most profitable segment of your users may be better than diluting the experience for everybody.
- aylmao 9y agoThat's your opinion from your vantage point. How do you know iOS is most profitable? For all we know, most of their users, or maybe most of their growth potential could be on Android. Lets not forget international markets run mostly Android.
- hnarn 9y agoMaking hard decisions to get the bottom line back on track would be a better signal of health than bleeding money and doing nothing about it.
- sitepodmatt 9y agoYou mean like the roaring success FaceTime is in the messaging space? And how .pages beat out PDFs?
- dingo_bat 9y agoFacetime is a failure? I don't know about pages so I guess you're right about that.
- sgt 9y agoAlthough it may not be a roaring success, I believe FaceTime is at least fairly successful. It also works really well in my experience, and on the desktop is far more efficient for 1-1 calls than Hangouts in the browser which spins up my MBP's fans.
- askafriend 9y agoFaceTime is a huge value add to the iOS ecosystem. It's extremely reliable, crystal clear quality, and incredibly easy to use. I know so many people who get their grandparents iPads exclusively to use with FaceTime.
