Dear editor:
It’s been said in [The Union] that “Snapchat is dying and has pushed most of its faithful users to Instagram.”(“Mistakes threaten Snapchat reputation” by Kaili Davison, The Union, March 22, 2018, p. 7.).
Snapchat’s popularity has slowed down, but there is not concrete proof in this paper that it is dying or pushing its followers to Instagram.
All that is being considered to reach this conclusion is the effects of two celebrities’ opinions on the app. It surely has caused its stock market to drop, but that alone cannot prove that Snapchat is dying.
Also there is absolutely nothing mentioned in this paper that could back up the claim that Snapchat users are shifting their attention to Instagram instead.
Further investigation is needed to make such a dramatic claims.
