Dear Snapchat,
I'll be honest, I never go to the Discover page. I never see what is going on, but I don't need to. The articles that are on the Discover page are on a featured section with all of my friend's stories, so I get to see the headlines. There are also some stories from all over the world. Most of the time they're interesting, but they're usually from shows or sporting events.
Anyway, I've never met someone who hasn't heard of Snapchat, and the majority of my generation uses it regularly. So, your articles and stories must get a lot of attention, but how come they never have any real news? A few times there have been some news pieces like when the Manchester Bombing happened, but there really aren't that many news stories.
Most of the articles are usually about whatever new thing the Kardashians are doing or some dating advice. I really don't care that Kylie Jenner bought a really expensive bathing suit then had a photoshoot in it. She's rich; that's what rich people do. I also see articles titled something like, "12 Disgusting Things All Girls Do." Most of the time, they're too gross for me to even finish the article, and some of the stuff hasn't even crossed my mind before.
I know I'm not going to agree with everything written in them, but at least report something real - not pictures of celebrity who is having a wardrobe malfunction. It happens to all of us, so why does the whole world need to see half-naked pictures a paparazzi took of a celebrity trying to enjoy their vacation? My point is, I don't care, and I've never met someone who actually does care about that stuff.
I want to read about something real, and I think it would help educate some of your users about what is going on around the world. I'm not saying people are naive or uneducated about certain topics, but you can never have enough information, ya know? I understand some people may use Snapchat as a way to escape politics and current events, but they don't have to read the articles if they do not want to just like I don't have to read about the Kardashians. Some of us may want to read about more important topics, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
In lieu of recent events, I have not seen a single article about the issues we are having with North Korea or even the protests in Charlottesville, VA. Both of which are extremely important topics that should be talked about and people should be given the opportunity to read about it. When there is a political article posted, you have to scroll through all of the other nonsense articles to find it; it shouldn't be that way.
So please, give me something real and not another stupid quiz that means nothing or another article about relationships. I simply do not care.
Sincerely,
An Avid Snapchat User
