Screws over! Oh no!

Good thing it still has the native app

Is Snap obligated to transport your high-res images via the agreement you have when using their software?

Sounds like a market opportunity for software that doesn’t screw you over

I'm not sure how you can think your sarcasm adds anything to the conversation, nor how it could be warranted.

In case you haven't noticed, Snapchat main hurdles these days is that their growth is vastly slowed down by the "stories" timeline on the Facebook app (Instagram, WhatsApp, messenger) that do offer higher quality of pictures.

I don’t really see how histrionics over a tech company in a so-called free market with an obligation to make money, not “not screw over users” adds anything to any conversation

We’ve been here before. Especially on this HN. The whole setup itself is banal

Are we supposed to sit here and fix their problems? What point does that serve

It’s like forcing an author to change their story.

Get over it, America! No one cares about gameifying Silicon Valley
