How are there people at Snapchat HQ going like: "We know what the users want: A terrible AI-Chat forced on them and avatars that don't have our iconic style, but rather a look like they're from your deepest nightmares. Push the update everyone! We are their heroes!"
The ai thing was so stupid. I cringe every time i see it
It's a cash grab. You have to pay to remove it.
I actually managed to report it for spam and remove it.
Everything snapchat does is a cash grab
And they still aren’t profitable at sll
You know it's a great service when you charge people to not have to deal with it
I keep forgetting that Snapchat is still around until I see a post like this
Everyone looked at Nintendo's Mii's and just ignored everything that made them charming
There’s a chance Nintendo has successfully patented everything about miis that made them charming. Heck, they’ve tried to patent loading screens having info on them.
they tried to patent the gameplay mechanics for Tears of the Kingdom so I'm not surprised if they've done this too.
Miitomo was the best social media platform ever conceived. The world just wasn't ready for it.
Are social media companies scared that if they don’t update often enough people will stop using their app?
I can imagine they are, but honestly, these updates probably make users leave even more
They don't, and honestly, Snapchat is what most of Gen Z is using to the point I believe it has even confused Facebook so Facebook has copied Snapchat.
Snapchat also has even more reason to update and appeal to that age group.
“you know what worked real well? the metaverse! let’s copy their avatars!”
“ooooh yeah great idea bob! we don’t have any legs either so it’s perfect!”
I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I'm not Snapchat's prime demographic. But damn that's ugly.
In your defense, Snapchat has no idea what its prime demographic is.
My 14 just old son thinks they look terrible, so I don't think they hit ANY demographic with that.
like, who looks at this and says, second one is so much better damnnn
to be honest, I think both are pretty cringe
yeah, it's kinda hard making a decent avatar, but idc, i just use Snapchat to connect with a few friends
lol, sorry, wasn't calling you out specifically or anything. I meant in a more general sense
I thought the first style made people look like pedophiles this one is worse
Imagine using snapchat lmao
This is the 3rd redesign in the last 2 years lol. Damn.
Holy fuck thats even uglier than the old ones
it literally just changed the shape of my face
and the shitty ai
like wtf i just want to delete the app now
Let the enshittification continue.
You don't even get to control your own image of yourself.
