Kylie Jenner Might Have Sunk Snapchat’s Stock With A Tweet
We have the Kardashian-Jenners to blame for the death of many things: natural looking makeup and bodies, the excuse that one needs talent to be successful in the entertainment industry But the latest casualty could be Snapchat, and if the game were Clue, the suspect cards pulled would be Kylie Jenner with her phone on Twitter.
According to Deadline, Snapchat’s stock dropped 7% yesterday, just one day after Kylie tweeted about how she doesn’t use Snapchat anymore.
sooo does anyone else not open Snapchat anymore? Or is it just me… ugh this is so sad.

Twenty minutes after, she tweeted she still loves them though.
still love you tho snap … my first love

Kylie apparently doesn’t like Snapchat anymore because they recently underwent an update that many don’t like. The biggest complaint is that the newest version makes it difficult for people to see their friends’ stories. Snapchat users were upset, 1.23 million have signed a Change.org petition to bring back the old Snapchat.
Oh no, but what about that scripted content Snapchat was rumored to be working on? Something tells me the only script being circulated around Snapchat headquarters at the moment is an unlimited prescription for Valium.
Not only has Snapchat stock fallen, but Citigroup has downgraded Snapchat stock to “sell.” Citigroup Internet Analyst Mark May explains that Snapchat’s update might be the puppy-faced nail in its digital coffin:
“While the recent redesign of its flagship app could produce positive long-term benefits, the significant jump in negative app reviews since the redesign was pushed out a few weeks could result in a decline in users and user engagement, which could negatively impact financial result.”
It would be a pretty big coincidence that Snapchat stock dropped a whole 7% the day after Kylie Jenner tweeted about how much it sucks. Obviously there’s some kind of connection there, which isn’t that surprising – Kylie’s followers will do anything she says. Remember all the kids who fucked up their mouths to look like their chemically-swole lip idol? So there’s definitely a chance a whole bunch of kids just deleted Snapchat from their phones. Which is crazy, because Kylie is the last person you want to be copying. Example – She’s trying to make those hideous 90s windsuits happen. Her judgement just can’t be trusted.
