This isn't an issue with convenience, this is an issue with Snapchat failing to fix a vulnerability.

How relevant is find_friends to Snapchat now? Is it really needed? Are they getting that many users building relationships for it? Is it worth damaging Snapchats image?

I don't think you fully grasped what I was saying.

This won't damage SnapChat's image. At least, not among most of their userbase.

They don't need to focus on fixing this or on coming up with a better response because this isn't important to enough people.

They won't see a huge amount of users deleting accounts, but I'm sure future users will think twice before joining.

Also, the value of the company.
