It's fully a copycat, there's nothing else to call it. I mean I'm all for it, it was well-executed on Instagram. But past that was complete overkill. WhatsApp

It's fully a copycat, there's nothing else to call it. I mean I'm all for it, it was well-executed on Instagram. But past that was complete overkill. WhatsApp, really? I'm shown stories from everyone in my contact list, really? It's completely useless. And Facebook? For the love of God why?

Also, Facebook and messenger seem to have separate stories.

  The worst thing about messenger stories would be how they are force feeding it to you in the app ( I'm not sure they even show up on the web version). Example: http://i.imgur.com/aMruFbg.png http://i.imgur.com/aMruFbg.png Literally 30% of the screen is useful and the rest of bloated by some non-dismissable crap

> For the love of God why? Because Snap didn't accept the cheque, it's starting to feel like a personal vendetta. I find it hard to believe it being anything else I mean what's the alternative? That all 3 teams completely ran out of creativity at the same point and decided to clone the same features at the same time? Far more likely that these orders are coming down from the top.

  The vendetta is starting to make vanilla Facebook annoying to use. I'm not sure if it's maybe because I'm left handed so all my swipes are with the wrong hand or something but I keep opening the damn camera while browsing Facebook now

Don't forget messenger Which seems to be completely different from Facebook.

Instagram stories seem popular but either I have the wrong friends or really no one ever uses Whatsapp stories. Don't think I've ever seen a story there and it's the messenger I use for ~95% of my contacts.
