Snapchat is and always has been a way for me to connect with my drug dealer, and trade nudes with open minded individuals in my social circles.
Because of this, I have been utterly fascinated by Snapchat's continued existence, partnerships with major media brands, and being publicly traded. It boggles my mind that the app I use to buy weed and see titty has such a large footprint. It always feels like reality will catch up to Snapchat, and the ecosystem will come crashing down once everyone else realizes the Emperor is not wearing any clothes, and he's using the app to send pictures of his unclothed behind to everyone else.
- jdtang13 9y agoYou really think that the many people who use Snapchat are all using it exactly the way you do?
- razster 9y agoI use it to show my circle of friends what projects I'm working on and to bug friends and family members.
- bittermang 9y agoDo you? Does anyone? We sit on high and talk about the kids and perceptions of cool. But the elephant in the room is never discussing what people are actually doing with the app. And to me, that is where the divide comes in. There is the Snapchat that is presented, the stories tab, and Snapcode links in Pepsi commercials. Then there is the Snapchat that is, how people are actually using it out in the wild.
- jdtang13 9y agoI think it's much better to just ask a few 14-19 year olds how they use Snapchat, and what kind of messages they like to send and receive, rather than idly speculate.
- ABCLAW 9y agoAnd you think they'd honestly and with a straight face tell you what they're using ephemeral pictures and self destructing messages for? Lets be real here.
- jdtang13 9y agoSounds like you've already come to your own conclusion, then. How can you collect data when you've already named the result of the experiment?
