For what it's worth, I talked to a Snapchat engineer at a job fair, and he told me that Snapchat is trying to focus on new products and features (like Spectacles) more so than trying to monetize their data.

I've heard that. Snap considers itself akin to a camera company. Will be interesting to see where things go, but I don't like the valuation.

And Snapchat recruiters are talking to me about coming over and helping their data scientists productionize their models and monetize their data. Why not both?
