Snapchat's userbase is more organic than most other social media platforms. I don't think I've ever seen a bot, and the "social circles" are much more private since it's less optimized towards meeting/finding new people. I'm sure there are still ways to profit from spamming or botting on snap but I can't really think of any. And not only is the social discovery potential pretty limited ( a part from celebrity accounts) but it's also only available on mobile apps (maybe the new snapcamera changed that but that's recent).
Maybe it's just me but in general, I use snap in a way that's pretty different to any other social media. I don't use it a lot anymore though, and it's still hard to explain that "difference" honestly
- pphysch 5y agoI don't really use Snapchat right now, but I constantly get spammed with friend invites from random "women" that I assume are fake accounts. Of course, Snapchat doesn't let you refuse obvious spam requests via notification (but they do let you accept them), so you have to open the app to clear the spam. A clear dark pattern and I would take these usage metrics with a huge grain of salt.
