Woah, woah woah. So by entering my username into snapgraph to "explore my snap chat network" aka see an animation of my top friends, I'm opting into your bullshit spam contest app, and anything else you plan on making?

Not a smart move dudes. My trust in anything you else make = Zero.

I'm I wrong here?

In case anyone is wondering, the deleted comment that thattallguy replied to explained how they built something along the lines of a "friends network visualizer" and abused their users' trust.

Sorry about that. We had some miscommunication internally. We used publicly available usernames.
