1) THIRSTY PEOPLE WON’T CONTACT YOU
“Sliding into yo DMs” is SO 2016 and everyone knows a thirsty person’s main source of communication in 2017 is via snapchat. Without snapchat, you’ve cut out all the thirsty people in your life. The people who matter will text you.
2) You don’t have to worry about all of the snapchats that you can’t remember sending.
Were they embarassing? Was posting that video of me singing “Love Story” by Taylor Swift in that bar snap story worthy? Well you don’t have a snapchat so you don’t have to worry about it.
3) You save a lot of battery
Snapchat is a battery-sucking road w****. So it’s nice to go home after a 14 hour day with 60% battery left
4) …Not to mention it also uses all of your data.
Data is key
5) You suddenly start spending less time on social media in general… and start like, realizing stuff.
Snapchat tells you everything everyone is doing, so once you cut that out, you don’t worry about what’s on Instagram or Facebook as much.
6) You start thinking you’re better than everyone else because you spend less time on social media
“…ugh Susan, stop living your life through the lense”
7) You save a lot of time.
Snapchat convos are the worst… you have to take a picture (or a second or third one if you want to look decent), make sure it looks good, make sure the expression you have on your face is appropriate, and think of a message to go with said expression. That takes about 15 seconds. A text? 3 seconds. Snapchat literally sucks the life out of you.
