Snapchat used to be a platform to send 10 second pictures of your dumb face to your dumb friend. It was like texting but it was a picture, which made it funny to constantly keep in touch with your closest friends. Snapchat was created in September in 2011 and we have really seen this app grow from a silly idea to have it become one of the most prominent social media applications. But with the new found fame, Snapchat has gotten extremely cocky.
They just updated the app and everyone is extremely pissed off. Snapchat now seems to be a platform of advertising rather than just a simple funny picture app. There is now online magazines on the front page where you can view sites like DailyMail, Buzzfeed and news sources. I know this app needs to make money, but could they do it in a way where they don’t seem like such obvious sell outs?
We hear you, and appreciate that you took the time to let us know how you feel. We completely understand the new Snapchat has felt uncomfortable for many.
By putting everything from your friends in one place, our goal was to make it easier to connect with the people you care about most. The new Friends page will adapt to you and get smarter over time, reflecting who you’re most likely to be Snapping with at that moment. This same personalization is also true of the new Discover, which will adapt to you the more that you use it.
Beginning soon on iOS, and with Android in the coming weeks, we are introducing tabs in Friends and Discover, which will make it easier to find the Stories that you want, when you want them. Once you receive the update, you’ll be able to sort things like Stories, Group Chats, and Subscriptions, allowing you to further customize your own experience on the app.
This new foundation is just the beginning, and we will always listen closely to find new ways to make the service better for everyone. We are grateful for your enthusiasm and creativity. We are very excited for what’s ahead.
Love, Team Snapchat”
Oh Snapchat, we’ll take you back but first you just have to change everything back. I feel like companies are too centered on creating the next revolutionary design, that they lose sight of the factors that made the company big in the first place.
Britney Spears never misses a chance to use her platform for good. All eyes are on the Team USA at the Winter Olympics. The Olympics only happens every four years, so it is a big event for the entire world. The USA is kicking ass and taking names, but some of the team members are experiencing some hate due to their sexual orientation. It is crazy how someone could work their whole lives to get into the Olympics to win countless gold medals just to be called, “gay.” These athletes are so much more than that and deserve to be respected as such.
Britney Spears, the queen of pop, wasn’t going to let this disrespect go unnoticed. Britney has always supported the gay community and isn’t going to let anyone get them down.
Hey @Adaripp…. I just wanted let you know that I am a fan, I am not in denial, and that you are THE MOST FUN!! Keep making us all smile at the #WinterOlympics and good luck today ✨⛸
I could feel you on the ice with me @britneyspears. I now have an OVERWHELMING desire to post Instagram fashion shows, google stock imagines of corn, and paint on the balcony of my dorm in the Olympic village. Thank you for not being in denial, LOVE YOU ❤️❤️❤️ https://t.co/CfeyGNecM3
Oh. My. God. Was really not prepared to wake up to this. Not sure how I'm gonna ski today because I'm LITERALLY dead now but I'm gonna go that extra mile for you, Britney! Ilysm!!! 😭❤️ https://t.co/yhoEJq1qRL
It’s 2018 people wake up! Homophobia is an ugly thing and one shouldn’t be judged based on who they chose to sleep with. These athletes have just accomplished more than anything the average person will ever do in their life, so start respecting them as such. They might just take those skis and skates to your neck and Britney will be there to laugh at you.
Azealia Banks has always been infamous. Her Twitter fights held some of the most brutal insults that would send any person away in tears. She certainly got into a lot of fights but unfortunately, they were the main cause of her demise. No one wants to back up some girl fighting everyone she sees. Also, she targeted people who didn’t deserve it at all. Yes, it was funny to see her get into fights with ignorant interviewers but after she fought a 14-year-old girl, and lost- her career was almost over.
All this fighting really took away from her talent, which she certainly has a lot of. Through all this B.S., I am still one of her fans. She has been uncensored from the beginning of her career and she doesn’t take any criticism from anyone. Although people might hate her, she knows who she is.
Rihanna’s huge 30th birthday was this Tuesday, February 20th, and she certainly celebrated all her success in life. Instead of focusing the day on herself, she focused it on her mother Monica.
Rihanna posted a really cute and loving Instagram post you can view here:
This was so cheesy, but you gotta show some love for your mother. Can you imagine giving birth to Rihanna? You would feel like you hit the jackpot. I would be very proud of being the Anti singer’s mother.
Her mother also had something to say in her Instagram post:
I’m going to cry, little Rihanna looks so cute as a kid. I wonder what she was known for in school? Probably being the coolest girl in Kindergarten I assume.
Rihanna’s younger brother also wanted to get in on the Instagram action:
Kanye West’s album, Life of Pablo was released February 14, 2016. This was about two years ago, but the hype from this album will never die down. This album was one of his best works of art yet which is pretty high phrase since Kayne’s entire career was defined by putting out some of the best rap albums of “all time”. Yes, I didn’t miss my chance to make a 2009 VMA joke. (Hi Taylor Swift!).
On his opening track “Ultralight Beam” it talks about his faith in God which sets up a theme for the album of being otherworldly.
Listen to “Ultralight Beam” here:
But what you didn’t know is that the introduction wasn’t recorded in the studio. It is actually a four-year-old girl, Natalie Green. She was recorded talking to her mom about her faith in God. Not only is this extremely cute, it is rather funny to see a four-year-old girl expressing such intelligent thought. This is a clip that works perfectly on the album, and upon first listen one wouldn’t even realize it is a voice of a kid.
Watch the viral video here:
Kanye certainly took inspiration from this faithful little girl.
