I think so. From what I gather from people who do use it, it's all about marketplace and business related groups. So it's basically Craigslist and yellowpages for cold calling at this point. These sorts of features simply don't work on their own, real use is what let's you get away with sticking ads in there, if all anyone ever sees are ads they change the channel.
Personally I think all the old guard of social media is dying, and doing their best to hide it. You smell the desperation in their decisions. YouTube, Instagram, twitter, Facebook, reddit, they all seem out of style and things like tiktok, discord and Snapchat seem to be where the hype is. Of course, they're dying at different rates, but they seem to have decided at some point that ux innovation was over, they were done iterating and began to focus on increasing profitability regardless whether decisions improve ux or not, meanwhile new companies began experimenting with different ux approaches and business models. I expect in a few decades it will be common wisdom that social media trends change fast and no social media company will expect to be able to rest on their size and buy up the competition forever.
- durnygbur 5y agoI wonder how Snapchat could be any popular or hyped. The only time I encounter it are Tinder profiles trying to sell me over Snapchat their time-expiring photos for EUR 30 per item.
- 100011_100001 5y agoSnapchat already came and went. TikTok killed it. There are still people using ICQ, but it doesn't mean it's not dead.

- FranksTV 5y agoSnapchat is privacy. You can send a snap and it's deleted -- and importantly your mom can't find the pictures of you smoking weed.
- KSPAtlas 5y agoI tried using Snapchat once and as a privacy conscious person, it felt more like spyware than an actual program. So many dark patterns and automatic turning on of cameras. I shared as little data as I could and I still got recommended family members. TL;DR: DO NOT USE SNAPCHAT
- cercatrova 5y agoThat is not why people use Snapchat, it's for privacy from other people, not privacy from the corporation itself.
