Was this written by AI? :(

These feel like stock AI clause:

Not this, that format: "That’s not bad luck. That’s a brand strategy failure" "That wasn’t modesty. It was counterpositioning," "Snapchat isn’t a failure by any normal measure. But it’s the story of a"

Using 'quietly' to modify a strong verb: "quietly determine"

Something always has to "matter"

If you go into ‘options’ on an article, you can ‘scan for A.I. text’ and it will show you how much of it was written by AI

Thank you for asking this. So many articles here give me this feeling of being written by AI. Which is a shame coz i genuinely liked the thought being shared but the voice sounded so AI, which makes it difficult to read for me honestly.

I remember someone caustically saying “Snap is the unofficial R&D dept for Facebook…” OUCH!

Snap+ subscriber growth is pretty good.

Also, streaks is the mechanism that snap uses to garner loyalty among users. You would literally have people crying if they lost a streak.

The article doesn’t mention spotlight? I think people prefer it over TikTok, TT being so obviously divisive in the content it promotes.

I think people will be surprised to see how Snap performs over the next year, as they say just teenage angst and growing pains.

"a following is an appreciating asset." is such a clear explaination of social wealth on both sides, and I've not thought of it in that way. I heard Jake Paul say his investment firm invests in the "attention economy" too. That makes total sense now.
