I don't have any data, but from everything I've observed the "sexting" aspect of Snapchat is wildly overblown. Most people just use it for goofy little communication between friends.
I guess people keep bring it up because they think it's funny or think it makes them seem cynical, but it would be a mistake to think Snapchat is primarily used for sexting.
- angryasian 13y agoI would disagree from the reddit threads revolving around snapchat and nude pictures and 4chan threads. I would think its a mistake to think its not used primarily for sexting. I don't have any data either but I think comments like op above are really trying to legitimize a sexting app. Lets take the recent Tumblr acquisition. Most tumblr blogs involved porn although they were able to legitimize is it as a better blogging service.
- argonaut 13y agoBecause reddit and 4chan are representative of Snapchat users. Right? Right..? Seriously, of all the users of Snapchat that I know, only one of them is a reddit user as well.
- angryasian 13y agono but they are representative of their primary demographic. Your personal experience means a lot less than the two biggest sites used by snapchat's target demographic.
- argonaut 13y agoAnd your unsubstantiated statements mean more..?
- angryasian 13y agohow is it unsubstantiated ? reddit has subteddits dedicated to sharing snapchats you can see subscriber numbers 4 Chan is a little harder to measure but the fact the threats are brought up several times a day days a lot
- argonaut 13y agoSome reddit users are snapchat users != most (or even a substantial minority!) of snapchat users are reddit users. Statistics 101.
- Grue3 13y ago>Most tumblr blogs involved porn This is blatantly false. It was estimated that about 10% did. Porn was never the biggest draw of Tumblr.
