Sounds like a bit of lipstick on a billion dollar pig. I'm sure we all remember their early days, their marketing material was straight out of any drunken frat

  I think that's true for the beginning, and I'm not disputing your statistic, but as a percentage of the total userbase today, people using it for non-porn-related purposes are the vast majority. Even if nearly 90% of porn stars use it, nowhere near 90% of Snapchat's users produce or consume adult content on the platform. Do you use Snapchat? Do you have friends who do? It's the de facto communication standard for teenagers because of Quick Add and the gamified nature, not porn.

    No, I have no purpose for it, but I'm in my 40s. Twitter and Facebook are the only social media platforms I use. To say snapchat has no basis in trading porn is to say that pornhub could relaunch itself tomorrow and say "oh sorry we're just a youtube knockoff now, we're not in the adult industry." Well, it would still say pornhub in the URL, wouldn't it. And it would still be a site whose entire userbase was built on trading porn. That's what Snapchat built and used to grow its userbase, so trying to re-image themselves after getting the money is dubious at best.
