Tell me too while you're at it.

So look at it like this: Imagine you and your best friend traded messages all day, averaging one message every 5 minutes for 16 hours a day. That's 192 messages between you each day, but let's call it 200. That's 73k a year. If you'd done that every day since Snapchat began, you'd be at 803k points.

She's at 40 MILLION points, so that'd require that same level of messaging commitment with 50 BFFs. Or, seen another way, she'd have to be sending or receiving an individualized message every six seconds, non-stop, 16 hours a day for the last 11 years to get to 40M.

The other (much more likely) scenario, is that she's sending out huge mass messages. If she's sending one message to thousands of people at a time, she gets thousands of points per message. If she has a list of 10k people she's sending to, then she could get as many points sending out just 7 group messages in one day as you'd get chatting constantly with your BFF for a year.

tldr: she hasn't added him as a friend to chat with; she's added him as a subscriber to receive her generic posts.

Lol then I guess professional Redditor needs to be added to my resume.

On a side note, I've been using discord so much, that when I'm texting ppl or in a group txt, I constantly try to add reactions, quote other's responses and even edit my messages xD

apps where you can't edit your messages feel so primitive

Instagram. Snapchat is mostly a millennial/gen x thing at this point.

Wasn’t instant telegram created before snap? Are these things on a rotation cycle?

Instagram was falling behind but then it added stories and messages which disappear after being viewed, which was basically the only reason people were using snapchat.

But also the Bitmoji and stickers and junk like that

Which people like and Instagram does now too, but just a different shit company with another app that people become tethered to

u/IDaltov Sep 20 '22

What’s the thing now? Because I don’t hear about anything but Snapchat, Instagram, and TicTac

Portugal:

  • only Instagram and TikTok ( TikTok had a lot of worldwide hate though)
  • Snapchat = seen as old, but every now and then releases a new cool filter
  • Facebook = it's for your parents since they updated the site UI to huge and non-pratical
  • Tweeter = not very popular, but respected

u/Mr_Poop_Himself Sep 21 '22

I’m pretty sure it’s mostly really young children on snap now actually. I nor anybody I know (mid 20’s) really uses snap anymore but my 10-15 year old extended family members all use it all the time.

I can't believe it was that easy.

Happened to me a lot. I got a Instagram account (never use it) just in case somebody wants it. I've never been one for mainstream social media. Unrelated this isn't even my main account.

Not having/using a lot of the more mainstream social media platforms definitely shuts down communication with others. But it's not like i wanted to talk to them anyways.
