#2Snap can blame Facebook all they want, but what they had was a feature, not a product, and then they alienated their users with the redesign.
Nobody else is to blame for their own stagnation then failing to reimagine their product.
I mean, Snap Spectacles, really?

The article is about Facebook copying features and draws a connection to Snaps subsequent downfall.
I’m claiming the downfall was inevitable (no product, bad redesign, those useless spectacles), and once again Facebook is the scapegoat in all this.

Real solid data driven analysis here..

Yes, Ashley Madison, the "dating" site.

You do realize both of these things can be true? Snap playing a role in their issues and Facebook also participating in behaviors that are relevant to an anti-trust investigation?

Actually, I'm super, super grateful they redesigned the Android app from the ground up. Before the redesign it was a disaster that would occasionally soft-brick my camera, mandating a reboot.

Lol, the same Ashley Madison who screwed over their entire user-base by failing to secure their database. Please Ashley Madison, lecture us more about unethical behavior.

I’m looking forward to the proof coming from the company that was unable to succeed because of their own ability to execute.

I think you should reread the article, it has very little to do with copying features. If Snap are correct then Facebook
- actively discouraged IG users from discussing Snap
- prevented Snap from trending on FB
- used data from an acquisition Onavo to track what users did on other apps (such as Snap)
Furthermore - whether or not these shady practices were the downfall of Snap does not absolve FB from doing them.
