  1. I don't think this is a good tactic. There are already places that we can watch original shows like Netflix and Hulu. We don't need Snapchat doing the same thing because I don't think that was it's intended purpose. They need to try a different tactic; like fixing bugs, or maybe updating the app so it'll look cooler and less confusing.

  3. In my honest opinion I don't think this is a good tactic. I feel like snapchat is doing this for no reason. Theres already a lot of apps and tv shows the world we live in today. Such as Hulu,Netflix, HBO and so on. Also snapchat already have enough users. This would be a great feature but theres already apps and stuff we can use to watch tv shows.

  4. It's a really good tactic, because its grabbing your user back. But if you did have a lot of people watching those snap movies/shows then what's the point.

  5. Not really a good idea. The idea isn't gonna change anything for the app popularity itself.

  7. In my opinion i dont see no use for this. It probably won accomplish by bringing back old snap people.

  8. i feel like nobody really is going to use it. some people are going to use it but not as much as snapchat think it going to be.

  9. I honestly don't think this is a good tactic. I say this because we already have apps such as Netflix that allow us to watch different shows. We don't want Snapchat doing the same thing that other apps are created to do. You don't too many users because the app could start having even more problems.

  10. I believe that this is a great idea because if something is more appealing to the eye nice out of ten times people will notice it. New features mean new things that will keep the users occupied its like a movie sort of speak if you fail to keep the action coming people are gonna get bored and wanna stop watching. So when you have an app like snap its even easier for people to get bored/tired of using it when there is nothing eye-catching about it. The snap originals will sure benefit but I don't know if it'll be able to rival Netflix and Hulu in the original part of business. This is because of age, usually you'd rarely see anyone who's older in age using snap but Netflix and Hulu are made for all ages and that's why I believe that snap will surely benefit but not get in the lead all-around.

  11. I think its a good idea that snap chat is adding those original shows on their for people to watch and showing people different options like restaurants and places to visit so people can know what good places are out there.

  12. snapchat is a good thing that they can make money to what they created that they made of updates

  13. For Snap Inc. maybe this is a good tactic. But they are only doing what everyone else is doing lately, copying. In today's society, many companies and programs have lost their originality. A company can just take an idea, or feature from someone else, label it as their own, and call it an innovation. Although the way Snapchat makes their originals is slightly different, this is still a tactic to try to compete with other companies. When you start competing, it's hard to break the cycle, you will be stuck in competition with another company for as long as your company lives. It may be hard to not compete, but if it is avoidable, avoid competition.

  14. Snapchat is going to make more money now that they are linking with these other companies and get more people to come back to their platform.

  15. I think snapchat should not do the shows because they will not get the users back they lost or gain more users because the way snapchat is set up it is not really good if was in it's original form they will still have all of their users.

  16. In my opinion, Snapchat shouldn't use tv series to get consumers to use their app this would just destroy the fun of the app overall

  18. I think that Snapchat should/should not bring a tv series to snapchat because I feel like people would not really even use that feature. Some people might, some might not, Both Ways.

  19. Snapchat should not bring a tv series to the app, snapchat has already been dying down ever since the past 3 updates. Also the feature sounds dumb to be honest.

  20. Snapchat should not bring in tv series to lure their people bad. I think that that's a dumb idea and people are going to think that they are doing a little too much. if they do they are going to loose what they thought they would gain. Also if they do they need to at least put some diversity and not all these white folks.

  21. I feel like they do not need to bring it. I don't like this new idea that they are trying to come up with but it is not it . Not a lot of people are going to watch it so I think they don't need to put it out .

  22. There are many apps for the sole purpose of watching tv series and movies. I don't think it is necessary for Snapchat to add that feature in their app since it is already a social media platform.

  23. I feel like this might not be a good tactic. No one goes to snapchat to watch TV shows. I appreciate the extra content that sanpchat would have but it wouldn't be what people downloaded the app for. Their time would be better spent working on interface improvements.

  24. I don't think its the best idea. Snapchat died when they updated it. If they brought back the old version I'm sure many users would come back or use the app more often.

  26. I do not think that Snapchat making a TV series is a good idea because we already have other platforms for streaming shows and movies such as: Netflix, Hulu, and VooDoo. Snapchat is a social media platform and I think they would not have much success if they were to start the streaming service.

  27. Snapchat should not be trying to bring in TV shows. It should just stick to being a social media app.

  29. good idea they need to bring in money before the quarter snd more users the better they need to get there firewall better to many people getting hacked.

  30. I feel as if it would increase the use of the app because you could communicate with others and watch your favorite show. This shows they are getting bigger and bigger teaming up with these big companies like NBC, CBS, ESPN and the NBA.

  31. I feel this is a good tactic. This will make people use snapshot a lot more. So this is why I think this is a good tactic

  32. In my opinion it's just copying others. Netflix and Hulu already have original shows as a part of their apps. Snapchat is just trying to be them, and increase some of the users. The bad thing would be if the shows are bad, it just might make some people leave snapchat in general. Overall its just a bad idea and whoever came up with it is not original.

  33. I believe that this is not a good tactic. There are already many different services that offer plenty of shows to watch. Snapchat is a social media platform and new shows don't seem to fit in with social media. Snapchat should focus on making there service better for there users than make unnecessary shows that have nothing to do with there service.

  34. Not a very good tactic, already since there are so many apps like this, aka like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime...

    ReplyDelete
  35. I don't think that this is a very good idea. Lots of companies already do what snapshot wants to do which is stream shows on its app. Doing this isn't really original because a few companies already do so, for an example Hulu and Netflix already have been doing these things along with many other companies.

  37. I don’t think it’s a good idea. Nobody wants to sit on an app and watch shows. Snapchat is to quickly see what your friends are doing , see what some celebrities are up to , & give a quick preview of your life. Snapchat is not Netflix , Hulu , or on demand. They should keep it where it is , they are trying too hard to branch out.

  38. I believe its a good idea because of the fact that snapchat is losing its users day by day. Sometimes snapchat can get very boring, some people just wanna scroll through their snaps and watch things other than stories. Snapchat is for sure to pull back some of its old users.

  39. This is a great move by Snapchat and it further expands their audience to a continental and maybe even global platform. This idea keeps viewers coming to the app daily and I believe it may reinvent what the app is initially used for. However, at the same time I would make sure the app doesn't stray to far from what made it famous.

  40. In my opinion it's just copying others. Netflix and Hulu already have original shows as a part of their programs. Snapchat is just trying to copy them.

  41. I think that adding shows is a good attempt at gaining viewers, but I don't think that it will lure their users back in. When people want to watch shows, they'll use Netflix or cable. I personally use Snapchat to see what my friends and other celebrities are up to, not to watch tv.

  42. I do feel that this may be a smart way to lure back the audience that has been lost on social media. However, I do feel they're are better ways.

  43. Snap chat is smart for bringing those Netflix show stars out knowing that most of America watches Netflix and this will bring huge attention to Snapchat. This will be in a way copying them but it will more than likely work to lure them back in.

  45. This is not a good idea in my opinion. This idea will not help Snapchat gain any popularity due to the fact that we already have things like Youtube, Netflix and Hulu that offer the same thing. -Ashlan Loyell

  46. No, I dont' think this is a good tactic. I think Snapchat is doing too much and should just stick to what they know. If I wanted to do these things I'd just go to Netflix.

  47. No I do not think snapchat making a tv series is a good idea because it is a social media app and they shouldn't change that. We already have Netflix and hulu and on demand, snapchat should stay how it is.

  48. No I do not think snapchat should become a tv series because it is a social media app and we already have Netflix and hulu and on demand. They should just keep snapchat just how it is.

  49. I don't think this is a good idea. Many people already don't use it anymore because they changed too much stuff.

  50. i dont think its a good tactic because we already have netflix and regular tv snapchat is popular enough

  51. I don't think this is a good idea. The reason why is because their is already alot apps you can use to watch tv. By doing this all they doing is becoming another tv app.
