Snapchat has a new option that allows you to get access to new features early for $3.99 a month. Essentially having you pay to test out new features before it gets rolled out to GA. How genius is that, getting money from Ads AND subscriptions from the same user. I think they’re the first company to ...Read more
Facebook folks, how do you feel about cloning all these Snapchat features in every one of your apps? It feels like every day Facebook crams another Snapchat feature into one of their apps. Disconnected camera + stories features now exist in Facebook, Messenger, Instagram and I believe WhatsApp. Thes...Read more

- Spending 20 Million dollars to lobby Congress into banning TikTok - Copying features from Snapchat & TikTok - Cambridge Analytica and interfering with US Elections and then trying to blame other companies for privacy. Biggest joke of 2023
Looks actually pretty compelling with phone call and audio features, and they’re not fugly like the snapchat glasses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c63AHEOo1k0&feature=youtu.be
Is the FB/Snapchat battle zero sum? Do you expect FBs copycat features to slow SNAPs user growth? Rising tide raises all ships? Do you expect SNAP to exceed revenue expectations?
Looks like Snapchat is rolling out new features for ecommerce to help increase engagement. Does this translate to real dollars or just another hype to try and stay relevant? https://www.adweek.com/digital/snapchat-is-rolling-out-3-new-ecommerce-features/
I am thinking about shorting Snapchat for long term. I have been having this thought ever since instagram started story features. I see most of my friends and family abandon Snap longtime ago and don’t how Snapchat compete with Facebook. Any thoughts or opinions on company’s outlook or stock perfo...Read more
[Please don't think of it as making fun of the company. I respect the kind of work being done there.] https://seekingalpha.com/article/4187269-snap-slim-chance-revival I'm seeing lots of media articles on how SnapChat is doomed. If I think about the work and innovation being done, it is equival...Read more
Snap was a top paying option for SWEs and now it might be a dud (down 75%) which is horrible news for everyone who's a SWE. We just lost another good option. At this rate, there will be no top paying tech companies left to join. Average Snap SWE made around 600K (prior to the stock drop) but appare...Read more
If you could change snapchat app what features do you think would grow adoption? What is the advise for Evan? This is a serious question. Please share your creative thoughts. FB has copied the company and it shows that the company does have innovation.

Is Snapchat “the Apple” of social networking and if yes then why it hasn’t taken over every other social network? I’ve had Snapchat on my phone for many years now, but still haven’t been able to get hooked on it at all. The question is why and do others feel the same way? The app from first glance...Read more
With the new Snap map, it seems like Snap is trying to build out a real-time location platform for events and people, like Waze did for traffic. Heatmap physical engagement / sentiment, on B2B side sell it to venues, retail, etc as BI, and on B2C juice targeted ads with locations / events / activiti...Read more
Imagine you build a gas station. After it is built, you just need one or two people at the same time to maintain it. We see what happened in twitter. You can just fire 70% of engineers and just key the rest to maintain it. Then it is profitable. No new features but profitable. This pattern looks g...Read more
I'm going to leave FB and I was considering applying to Snap. The problem is that I work on some of the "Snap clone" features and I'm afraid of FB claiming that I broke the non competition clause of my employment contract. Does anyone had any kind of experience like that before? I know the employe...Read more
Wanted to get a sense if Snapchat internally values online safety for teens and are actively working on it. For example, do they try to bring awareness to safety features like blocking and reporting, ways to limit stranger friend requests, filters for inappropriate content, parent controls, etc? t...Read more

Hi Blinders - I’m a PM looking around right now as I am sick of the Seattle area. Apart from FB, G, some series B/C startups and ad tech/fintech, I’m also considering Snap and Uber based on where my friend / ex-coworkers went. My goal is not to maximize the comp but rather learning at this point. I...Read more
