I'm not saying the valuation is justified but naughty pictures have proven to be a very, very profitable industry.

  Agreed. But how can a company that shows pictures for seconds and deletes them make money? And only have one use case or feature?

    Off the top of my head? Allow people to charge for subscriptions to their feeds and take a cut. People follow you, you make naughty pics and send them out, people see them. There's lots of ways for the leader to play with the timing and types of photos too. It makes the user's feel a connection since it's not publicly available, have private ones, etc.

      Kind of like a paid /r/gonewild. Hmmm there are probably a number of porn stars/models that would buy into this. $5.00 a month to buy into this snapchat feed. We can use the reverse Apple method give 30% to the model. If you could get 100k users to follow the models that would be 350K a month/4.2 million a year. We might be on to something.

  You nailed it. Private porn that is safe and secure from the internet, and your mom ever finding out. Snapchat panders to the wanton part in all of us.

    Except it's not private and it's not safe, at all.
