Google+ tried to copy facebook functionality too, right?
While instagram already has the users, I think the point is that you can build it, but you can't make people use it. Instagram can prevent existing users from leaving snapchat for 'stories', but will it really entice snapchat users to come over to instagram, given that social networks are a function of people who use it?
- josephjrobison 8y agoInstagram Stories daily active users is 400 million. [1] Snapchat dau is 188 million. Given that this declined from 191 million from Q1 2018, seems Instagram is crushing them. Anecdotally I’m surprised Snapchat is even doing this well. Before Instagram Stories I had probably 50 people a day posting new Snapchat stories. Now it’s a handful a week. They’re all on Instagram.

- bduerst 8y ago1.5% QoQ decrease in DAUs is hardly being crushed, especially when they have a 45% YoY increase in revenue [1]. See? I can google and cherry pick stats from statista too. My point point about social being a two-sided market still stands regardless of your personal experience.
