Time will tell I suppose. It depends on your definition of "messy". Life is messy, right? Through that mess we've managed to capture some real beauty too. One user shared the emotion of her college graduation, as it was happening. It wasn't staged, it was what she was doing at that random moment. The top platforms are so... perfect. Everything is choreographed. It's the highlight reel. There is certainly an audience for that and I don't disparage them at all. I believe there is an audience for a more genuine platform too. One where the posts are spontaneous and unfiltered. No one is perfect on Snacktime, and I think that reduces the friction and intimidation I see other social platforms. But if it only gets used to share moments between friends, I'll take that a win. Appreciate your comment, thanks.
