Snap will be okay in the end. Snap will survive "The Snap".

What's Snap?

Wow r/technology is really napping. This is literally last week's news. Fwiw today the stock was up 8 % albeit from a very low price.

I thought this is /r/technology and not /r/stocks.

Old news. I have to say though, I think they have a lot going for them. They’re really shifting focus towards being more of a general photography company as opposed to just a social media app. Will continue to be big players in AR.

Why are you posting 4 day old stock news?

I thought they were talking about Snapple and I was like oh no mango madness is the shit.

Uh snap chat's user base is like 45% scammers. They don't even care...

Form what I've observed over the past few years, this sub does not keep up with the financial markets, nor do many of the people that comment and upvote here know much about the financial markets.

All "hacks" aside: what people conveniently forgot was they uploaded all sorts of sensitive stuff to the servers of a publically traded company that offered their (proprietary) services for "free" and made a pinky promise to delete people's shit after delivery. Even the old story about the Easter Bunny is more believable.

personal-self-promoted social media is DEAD

over sharing is whack

nudes are played out

unsolicited dick picks are gross

being constantly invested in what other people are or what you are doing is exhausting

updating and switching from platform to platform is a rat race

please feel free to add more

They are really aggressive with those "check out the new lenses" push ups - trying to get their "user" numbers up again....

Snapchat is the superior lowkey social sharing platform and if you don’t think so, you’re entitled to your opinion

I'm shocked Snap among others haven't announced a text based competitor to Twitter, since it's about to implode under mismanagement. Will Reddit take all that traffic now?

Snap was kinda neat at first. I mean they really pushed the AR stuff. Too bad their glasses didn't work out. Seems like they have a major pedo problem though. I can't imagine how many articles I've seen about catching predators on there. Dick pics and fentanyl is not a good look.

>Looking at the homepage of this sub now, almost every article is about the misdeeds of technology companies. No one actually upvotes articles about interesting tech anymore

This sub is basically the technology arm of /r/worldnews where people just get their rage boners on big tech and China

But are they making money? Seems like it would be tough to monetize, but I guess if they farm the data of users it wouldn't be too bad for them.

Though I guess stock price doesn't really have much to do with if the company actually makes money or not.

Ste p1: Stop the useless notifications for filters and the ghostly added friend alerts.

Step 2: Stop adding BS bloat to the app. Keep it simple stupid.

Step 3: PROFIT

Its like tech companies are in the 7th ring of being out of touch with what users want.
