“Enshittification will continue until revenue improves”
Until and beyond.
Revenue improves. “We did it! But… line must always go up!? More!” Enshittification will continue until death occurs.
Jokes on them, I don’t have any.
Oh. I made myself sad.
It’s okay, Team Snapchat is the only person that sends me anything either (>•_•)><3
Is snapchat still a thing? Never used that but I thought from screenshots and memes that tiktok killed it (never used that either)
I think it’s still used a lot for private messaging?
“private”
I think you mean ‘direct’ messaging
Maybe. I’ve only known Snapchat used for sending pictures of one’s privates, which is quite direct now that I think about it.
Have they fixed the issue where anyone with the URL to your pic can see it?
As far as I’ve read, it’s never been private, let alone encrypted.
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.
Mt family/friend group use it as a way to send pics/videos since MMS isn’t great for that… at least that’s what they say, I don’t have it.
Definitely, I have a few group chats. It’s good for general memery and snapping funny things throughout the day.
Me throughout my day:
I used it to receive nudes and spicy pics from one girl I dated. Downloaded it for that purpose alone. Deleted it when we stopped talking

Me: ? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Aaaaand that’s going to be it for snapchat. FUCK the greed, fuck your ads. FUCK your analytics.
I think Slipknot wrote a song about that lol
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+…
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
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?
Swim in the swamp, you’ll get leeches
Are they stupid? In fairness, I don’t know how they’re making any money at all. I’ve never seen anyone interact with the discover feed and therefore see ads. There really isn’t a way to monetize Snapchat without killing it off.

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.
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
Oh no enshittification in crap I don’t use. The horror!
I know social media shows us stuff it wants us to see, but Snapchat shows the absolute worst shit, it has never once shown me something I’d ever want to see. It really is the most ratchet app.
My god why do I still have it, I gotta talk to my therapist about this
Hey it’s me, your therapist. It’s for the nudes.
God you’re right, this is why I pay you the big bucks
Just uninstall it, you’ll be happier.
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
No it isn’t: I don’t use SnapChat!
