Snapchat’s public-facing profiles and Stories mark a notable departure from the app’s origins as a messaging platform for close friends. However, the company has recognized the importance of catering to both private and public content in order to compete with other social media platforms. By blurring the lines between public and private content, Snapchat hopes to provide a pathway for users to become successful and well-paid creators while still maintaining its core messaging functionality.
