Actually, their whole “disappearing messages” thing was perfectly positioned for the teen market as the polar opposite of “post once and it’s there forever” Facebook. I never used it myself, but for a certain subset of people, not just dick pic senders, this was a pretty big differentiator/selling point. Enabling a whole new class of behavior for millions of people. So yeah, although the innovation never progressed beyond a killer feature for some users, it was still... innovative.
