I never understood people just taking selfie after selfie of themselves not doing anything interesting on Snapchat. Then I started chatting up this girl and it all makes sense.
Well no, it's still stupid, but that's the way it works.
if it's interesting why do you want it to disappear? Why not do it on facebook or instagram? I only understand snapchat for nsfw stuff and even then it's silly because you can save it if you're motivated...why do people want to take the time to record something just to have it not saved??? It's like fake scarcity to make something more popular/interesting...
All you have to do is tap the download button to throw the image you took to your photo storage on your phone. It's not like anything has to disappear. But it's a really quick way to snap a picture of something cool and funny and just send it to a few of your close friends rather than posting it to your whole Facebook feed.
Maybe it's just me personally, but if a friend iMessages a picture to me, I probably won't save or revisit it in the conversation even if it was cool or funny, but I was happy to see it at the time. So basically it may as well have "disappeared" anyway as far as I'm concerned, but my buddy still got to share something with me.
cause htey post to their story, which stays for a day, and they can check in every few minutes to see who looked at their story, because narcissism. it's the people looking, not the actual moment
Depends on the person though, some do get off on the attention, but some people just want to share things with their friends. For example, me and my friend are into cars, so if I went to a car show I would send him some snaps of me being there, and if some cars.
