πŸ‘» Snapchatters, any of you here?

Hi all, hope you're well and safe. Just a quick request:

I've made this #SnapchatLens and it's gone kinda viral with over 800k views in almost 10 days! I'm hoping it hits 1 million views, so if you're on #Snapchat, give it a shot please, and share it with a friend β€” or myself: perspectiveix

Here's the link to the lens: https://prs.pctvix.co/3572llK
and here are the rest of them.

Thank you!
β€‹β€‹πŸ—ž News Use Across Social Media Platforms in 2020

As #SocialMedia companies struggle to deal with misleading information on their platforms about the #USElection, the #COVID19 pandemic and more, a large portion of Americans continue to rely on these sites for news. About half of US adults (53%) say they get news from social media β€œoften” or β€œsometimes,” and this use is spread out across a number of different sites, according to a Pew Research Center survey.

Among 11 social media sites asked about as a regular source of news, #Facebook sits at the top, with about a third (36%) of Americans getting news there regularly. #YouTube comes next, with 23% of US adults regularly getting news there. #Twitter serves as a regular news source for 15% of US adults.

Other social media sites are less likely to be regular news sources. About one-in-ten Americans or fewer report regularly getting news on #Instagram (11%), #Reddit (6%), #Snapchat (4%), #LinkedIn (4%), #TikTok (3%), #WhatsApp (3%), #Tumblr (1%) and #Twitch (1%).

These lower percentages for news use are in some cases related to the fact that fewer Americans report using them at all, compared with the shares who use Facebook and YouTube.

Social Platforms: they all look the same now

The fact that all #SocialMedia platforms are starting to look the same points at the idea of some platforms are just features unless they evolve.

For example, #Snapchat had to evolve from being a platform for β€˜Stories’ to a camera/AR platform, otherwise, it had no chance against #Facebook & #Instagram Stories attack.

Now, #Clubhouse has the same problem. It has turned into a feature that other platforms are just adding to their products β€” yes, you can call it copying too.
