Wasn’t that the entire premise of the product when it launched? Disappearing messages and minimal footprint so you could be confident your communications were semi-private?

That was the expectation of using the product so it fits and isn’t anything like this discussion.

Yes. And because of the platforms deciding to enable that business model, we're now in a bullshit reality where the very apps that need to be screenshotted most often, are first to abuse platform features and prevent screenshots from being taken.

This deserves a longer rant, but the very premise of Snapchat was always poisonous, and is largely responsible for why, 20 years later, we're now facing extreme proposals for regulating electronic communication.

That plus product design.

Yellow.

They fuckin did it. Not construction not a warning of some type. Not yellow pages. Yellow - cool looking yellow.

Is what I said to myself as a 20-something product designer
