Sending Snaps to other people is often pretty genuine. It's a great way to build a connection with someone you don't quite know just yet, as you get a lot of face time with that person. And of course, drawing lets you express your creativity. You can manipulate your looks, or the environment around you. It's a lot of fun.
Conversely, Snap Stories can indeed get very Vine-like. They can be quite fun, but if you're making them for the wrong reasons (to get attention) then they lose their meaning.

I guess it is really about having "friends" to do that with you, which I don't have any to do snapchat with. But yeah, I probably can relate it back then with tumblr, using mustache in google hangout etc..
Finally someone brave enough to stand up and break this hype about "stop using Facebook."
> I'm not sure what the answer to that is. Some say Snapchat is a much better place for people to be their true selves - I can believe it.
I am in my twenties and I find Snapchat really weird. I don't know, I find both typing out the message from a computer keyboard and a straight google hangout/skype chat more natural than a (what??) 5-second snap story... my impression is Snappers tend to make vine-like videos with snapchat and that is just so unnatural....
