How can you hate something that you've never tried?
Cultural osmosis.
Just because I never installed TikTok or Snapchat, doesn't mean I've never seen or heard anything from it. Snapchat used to be big, TikTok is even bigger right now, it's completely impossible to actually avoid seeing anything from it. And then there's YouTube with their shorts.
To be fair, Snapchat is still better than tiktok, because you can actually communicate with friends. Their spotlight is as much brainrot as it gets
And very few people (at least people my age) are still on Snapchat. They all moved to Instagram stories years ago. I finally deleted my Snapchat account a couple months back, because the only reason I was still using it was to trade pictures with a friend of our cats.
