Possibly, but Slootman had a personal brand from his book Amp it Up that came out recently. The book (which he wrote) obviously painted himself as a transformative executive, which I don't necessarily disbelieve. Personally, I thought

RIP. I stayed here the first time I visited NYC, mainly on account of the location and price. It felt enormous and check-in was pretty chaotic given the amount of people checking in but it felt like an authentic intro to the city. That said

Underrated comment in my opinion. Snap's long term potential lies in differentiating themselves with their hardware and UX like Apple did with the iPod /iPhone in the 2000s. An extremely hard task, but a more visible direction tha
