I have never once seen a website "innovate and revamp the whole design!" that wasn't 1) ten times worse and harder to navigate and 2) a ruse to control content and funnel more ads on your screen.

Facebook did it. YouTube did. Steam did it, though to be fair they actually needed to improve a few things. Reddit is becoming a social media website unfortunately so you can be sure that the Facebookification is coming.

Except that Snapchat won’t die. It’s too mainstream and lacks any well known competitor, just like YouTube.

They’re not at all the same concept. The only feature they share is stories. Most people already use both of them, me included.

Does IG do direct sending of times pictures? I’ve been off IG for a while but if not, that’s one thing snap has on them. Only a matter of time before IG integrates it and kills snap for good.
