It's a communication platform that the younger generations are using as their primary form of communication. That is big.. not saying it's $10B big, but SnapChat has the chance to become something larger than just stupid selfies.
- tomblomfield 12y agoThey may have a chance of becoming a useful communication platform, but at $10bn, there's not a huge amount of upside left. I'm struggling to see how the very substantial risk of not becoming that platform could have been priced into the investment.
- Iftheshoefits 12y agoWhat you wrote sounds to me like this: if SnapChat were something else, and not (just?) SnapChat, maybe in the same "space", it could be worth a lot. Edit: I am deeply skeptical that a market filled primarily with people who have little or no income will support an ad-based revenue stream valued at $10bn. I would be even more skeptical if the revenue for SnapChat were supposed to come from a pricing structure.

Isn't there a tremendous risk snapchat users leave that platform the way users have moved from one messaging platform to another for years?
