Is Snapchat on the Way Out or Just Finding its Footing?

Predicting what will come for Snap Inc. is a hotter industry topic than trading iPhone rumors. The company's biggest problem isn't the notoriously fickle nature of its target demographic or even the way it's closed approach prevents content from going viral. No, it's biggest problem is that Facebook keeps copying its features and doing them better.

"Facebook and Instagram have added several Snapchat-like features in an effort to drive usage, particularly hoping to pull users away from Snapchat," notes Brett Sappington, senior director of research for Parks Associates. "Facebook knows the digital advertising space well and has a large base of advertising clients. So, ad spending with Facebook and Instagram is seen as a safer bet than Snapchat."
