Some anecdotes about Snap.
My 20yo son in college still uses Snap, and I just checked and apparently he still has 3 streaks that are at 1500 days(ish). That's 4+ years of daily Snapping.
Snap has apparently become a vital part of dating. Tinder to discover and Snap to chat. That makes sense to a generation used to not having their conversations and selfie messages permanently logged.
There's some serious Sugar Baby and OnlyFan action going on as well via Snap. The only time I, as a 50yo, on Tinder get a girl's Snap is when she wants to sell nude pics or talk about an "arrangement".
(This is an entirely different topic, but the Zoomers are first generation to grow up with easy 24/7 access to hardcore porn, and I think it has definitely given them different ideas of relationships and sex than previous generations, and I think we haven't even begun to see the long term effects of this. 19yos talking about ENM? Or BDSM preferences? Craziness.)
Snap is an amusing generational thing because if I hadn't seen my son using it every day for years, I totally would have dismissed it. It's just an app that I have no use for. No history? I have a horrible memory! That's a nightmare app to me.
That's all, just thought I'd share. If you're my age and don't get Snap? That's understandable, just don't dismiss it. To the Zoomers it's part of daily life.
