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!

      It’s a cash grab. You have to pay to remove it.

        I actually managed to report it for spam and remove it.

        You know it’s a great service when you charge people to not have to deal with it

    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.

    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.
