“Enshittification will continue until revenue improves”
Until and beyond.
Honestly Snapchat was fun, but what killed it for me was when it started randomly adding/following users when my account was inactive for a while. So I’d start getting notifications about xyz posting, and I don’t even know who they are
I’m convinced they’re doing this to pad user activity
Jokes on them, I don’t have any.
Oh. I made myself sad.
Aaaaand that’s going to be it for snapchat. FUCK the greed, fuck your ads. FUCK your analytics.
Is snapchat still a thing? Never used that but I thought from screenshots and memes that tiktok killed it (never used that either)
Nobody I know my age (early 30s) uses it any more. Instagram stories killed Snapchat stories. I don’t know if Instagram has a disappearing messages option though.
Gen Z loves it for some reason
I never understood that. Apparently they use it as a primary way of messaging each other? At least that’s what younger relatives have told me. I’ve tried to have them explain what makes the app designed to hide/delete stuff after it’s been read better for communication, but so far haven’t gotten an explanation I could make any sense of.
Yeah my brother says its the main way to talk to girls, which sexting was its original purpose so makes sense. But also the streak system and ease of picture messaging I think keeps people using it.
I guess I’m too boomer to understand it, because I hate the idea of “picture messaging.” Text is so much easier to interact with…
Remember Snapchat had the cool feature of showing you “today, X years ago”?
Why did they fuck that up and you get random collages now. It was such a great feature that they have now ruinedIsn’t that what Google photos does too? I’m slowly degoogling but I must say, I do enjoy that feature. It kinda gives purpose to the random pictures one takes.
Well if this happens I’m getting rid of it. Yeah I’m older and I use it. But it’s great for the girlfriend and I to quickly send messages and nsfw things. Now that I think about it, I only use it because of her.
These ads will be the last straw. The stupid AI chatbot forces itself to the top of your list already, and above that, they throw in a stupid Snapchat+ ad! Oh yeah, in order to delete the AI bot as a friend, you need Snapchat+…
The ads are the last straw? Hahaha
Unencrypted shit show of a “service”.
Have they fixed the problem where if someone has the URL, they can see your NSFW pics?
nsfw things
Why would you use unencrypted social media for that?
You do understand that Snapchat keeps a copy?
Use signal which has temporary messages
Anyone know of any alternatives with similar functionality?
telegram has “secret chats” that let you set a self destruct timer for all messages sent in those chats. i don’t know of many other alternatives. and even telegram isn’t a drop in replacement, but it could work, depending on what you’re looking for
Just use Signal with disappearing messages feature turned on?
I wish we made more offensive memes using established brands that way we can keep their ads out of our online spaces
I would like it very much if the first thing that came up in a casual search for any business was sweaty rule 34 fantasies
