Snapchat is a Social media app that is beginning the
slow decline to being forgotten.
It is most commonly used by teens and young adults.
Snapchat is a thoroughly
overrated social media app that bills itself as being unique, when it simply takes an already existing idea, and runs with it.
It is also harped upon by Buzzfeed, so if that isn't a red flag, I
don't know what is.
Snapchat's main feature is a photo and video sharing system that allows users to share media that disappears after ten seconds or less. Users can also live stream and
add 10 second clips to a function called their "Story", which they can update all
day. These can be viewed as many times as possible for 24 hours before being permanently deleted.
The app also includes "lenses", or filters that make the user look incredibly childish and stupid. One of the most commonly used is the Dog Filter also known as the Hoe Filter.
The app also makes use of advertisements to an obscene degree, which allows corporations to come even closer to
people, and pin them with marketing that appears very benevolent, but is just as
retarded as any other ad.
Snapchat's parent company, Snap, Inc is a poorly run company that has also released Snapchat Spectacles, a wholly
useless wearable camera that is somewhere between Google
Glass and a Forever
21 product. Tends to be worn by typical Snapchat basics.
So basically, fuck Snapchat.
Typical
loser- "I've got 10 snap streaks going!"
Me- "So you think that's actually
something to be proud of?"
Loser- "Um... yes?"
Me- "Fucking yuppie scum, you'll never amount to anything if you keep on using Snapchat. "
