Software Developers (I guess? Or CS ppl) how can something like Snap Chat be so valuable?

148 views

Is it just pure market share from marketing efforts? Is it upfront investment to keep like major server requirements or something running?

To me, who knows nothing, it seems like an app that just uses native features on your phone (camera for example) would be easy enough to replicate/produce. So why is Snap or TikTok such powerhouses?

I don’t think I can edit my first post, I understand how things like Snap and TikTok and Facebook get money from data and usage and ads. Just wondering more like why is Snap for example so successful, it seems to me – a layperson – very basic. Maybe it’s not. I was just wondering if it’s more of like “you’d need $1m to even host that many people to begin with” or something like that.
