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!

    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.
