Ah, Snap loves being weird for the sake of being weird. Snapchat was a constant struggle for me (Gen Z) to operate before I stopped using it. The latest reminder for how hip and weird they are (in their world): The text "web.snapchat.com" is blue, underlined ... but not actually a clickable link. How cute, quirky and hip! The youngsters will love it.


The url works in Firefox, it might not in other browsers because they nested bold and underline tags:

    <a href="https://web.snapchat.com/"><b><u>web.snapchat.com</u></b></a> 
(as the other person mentioned probably because they used a rich text editor).


But they say you should use chrome. Ironic.

(Should work in chrome too)


There is an anchor around the domain text - just missing an href attribute. Probably due to the rich text editor used to draft the blog post.


>> Snapchat was a constant struggle for me (Gen Z) to operate before I stopped using it I am not gen z but I struggled with the anti-intuitive and weird interface. I grant that its quirkiness may be part of its appeal and the kids seem to love it. Could you not open in active camera mode though? That was just one annoying feature, I could list the things that just drove me bonkers.


They're driving content creation.

If anyone reading this doesn't understand how well this works, you absolutely must go spend time with some people less intelligent than yourself.

The state of the world could depend on it.
