Should I be experiencing FOMO over Snapchat? Is Snapchat one of those things you only get into if all of your friends are doing it? (like, say heroin for example)
which didn't make me feel that I was missing out on anything.
20% per year is not impressing to be honest. Don't get me wrong, I admire them as a company, but the grow rate is too slow, to compete with top social platforms.
Better a company that generates revenue than one that uses all it's money on growth and has billions $ negative. I hate this idea of a growth rate being "too slow", all it does is encourage monopolisation which is bad for people. Edit: spelling

As far as I know, there is no people discovery on Snapchat. To find people to add (so you can receive their snaps – or video messages), go on Instagram and check out user profiles. Snapchat users post their Snapchat usernames everywhere.
Familiarize yourself with the UI. It is quite confusing until you have a mental image of how the screens are linked so you know where you can swipe in which direction to get to the next screen.
From what I can see, Snapchat is dominated by teenagers. Everyone has an account, even if they don’t post, just to watch other people’s videos. The stuff is very mundane and gets boring fast if you are not actually friends with the people who post. There is a lot of posing and trying to look pretty. After a few weeks I deleted the app.
I've been hearing they are losing a lot of users to Instagram, since the latter basically copied the best features of Snapchat. Anyone has any opinion on the topic?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Most people between the ages of 10-30 have been conditioned to pull out their phone during the slightest feeling of boredom, awkwardness, loneliness, or of course notification noise / buzz. It then becomes a question of which App gets opened first which usually is decided by the amount of 'reward' generated by the action. I can only speak to my demo, but the order is usually: Tier 1: * Text messaging * Snapchat Tier…
If I pull out my phone I go right to HN, or the current book I'm reading. I'm definitely old now...

If you do, it can be a lot of fun and you don't have to worry about polluting your camera roll or your long-term social media footprint.
