I've been seeing a lot of calls about this incoming downturn (especially HN), does anyone have any articles/analysis they can point me to? Would love to read up on the state of it.

Well I don't think they did anything new/novel. Snapchat succeeded because the concept of _just_ sending dumb photos/videos to close friends didn't exist. Adding friends to circles was also too much work for the user I t
