Just recently Snapchat introduced all sorts of notifications. I’ve seen friends getting TEXTS whenever they get snap messages or snaps. They also now appear on my iPhone notifications all the time. Obviously this drives metrics up, but user experience is piss poor. My best guess is that retention and DAU numbers don’t look good naturally so there’s artificial inflation needed for earnings reports…snap tends to hire smart folks so I refuse to believe their PMs and SWEs think this type of engagement is good. Don’t get me started on how bad the Ads are.
No longer there but I got the Team Snapchat ones. Quite pathetic way to prop up the metrics.
The first rule of Snapchat is to unfriend Team Snap
I work here and I agree with all of this. The growth PMs are so cringe, wish I could tell you all the shit they pull off.
Honesty the platform is so shit anyways
some pm is trying to increase retention lol
We need the DAU. Real growth is slow.
And mostly in areas with low ARPU since people there don't have a lot of disposable income, so even if they're terminally bored enough to check out our shitty Spotlight content, it's not worth advertising to them bc they can't afford the crap in our ads. So we gotta get our grift on...
Apparently you can turn them all off in settings but everything is defaulted to ON including SMS texts.
Is there a legal reason Snapchat can't fulfill its potential by integrating with p**nhub or an AI bot?
Do the CEO's fragile ego and total disconnect from reality count as a "legal reason?"
Snap got Indian’ed. lots of nepotism and sketchy shit going on with the Indians there. Know a guy who got pipped at Snap after 6 months by a team with lots of Indians and now is at an HFT for close to a mil a year
Are they the Indians that came from Google
