Nice it will be in between the Kardashian fit booty and what to do when he cheats stories. Snapchat is a wasteland.
- rubatuga 9y agoPeople use Snapchat for many reasons, sponsored stories are just one of many.
- skciva 9y agoIts definitely not for substantial news.
- komali2 9y agoBy your definition of substantial. We can try to argue about the definition of "substantial" if you want, but in the end, the fact is that I can find you ten thousand young teens that don't give a fuck about politics and do give many fucks about a Kardashian booty transplant.
- bogomipz 9y agoI think its pretty clear and universal what "news of substance" means in the context of news journalism. In fact most newspapers have a separate section for entertainment for this reason. Your comment and diction seem be the very definition of "insubstantial."
- komali2 9y ago>Your comment and diction seem be the very definition of "insubstantial." At least I never resorted to personal attack.
- bogomipz 9y agoI didn't attack you personally, I commented on the content of your comment.
- komali2 9y agoGetting deeper into this is a waste of both of our times, but for the record, the reason I felt it was a personal attack was challenging my "diction" seems to challenge my very ability to string together words. I took it as being told "you talk like a dumb dumb and therefore your argument holds no weight." If that's not what you meant, well, that's fine, maybe I'm being over sensitive, but that is how your words were received.
- zjaffee 9y agoYou can watch snapchat stories from the NYTimes, The Economist, WSJ, in addition to a whole bunch of other sophisticated serious media organizations. Often times the articles they publish on their stories, are just more interactive versions of the articles they published on their website with the text being the same. The thing is, tabloids are just more popular than sophisticated news. People are more interested in buzzfeed or mashable or people magazine than they are with politics.
- Nanite 9y agoTrue, but it's in Snap's interest that they use it in ways they can capitalize on.
- malchow 9y agoYes, and I read a very invigorating explication of Spinoza on Facebook this morning.
- jonursenbach 9y agoIt might not be your kind of thing, but a lot of people get value out of Snapchat. There's no reason to shove your nose at it like you are doing here.
