SnapChat has been facing an all-time low share price, its share price fell as low as $6 per share. Obviously, there are reasons why SnapChat is losing millions of users, mainly revolving around the App’s poor performance. Couple months ago Kylie Jenner tweeted about field inspection solutions that she had left SnapChat for good while Rihanna also had not so good things to say about the app. This situation is, unsurprisingly quite alarming for SnapChat as it sees its devoted users slipping away and preferring Instagram over it.
SnapChat has been trying to recover its long-lost users and retaining its existing ones by focusing on chat fictions and different ways of storytelling. The revenue sharing deal with hooked over ads sold for the series is yet another attempt by SnapChat to maintain its customer base. This deal might bring in benefits for both Hooked and Snapchat who are on the edge owing to severe competition and poor performance.
