“Snapchat alleviates the pressure of feeling judged for who you’ve shared something with, perhaps for the first time in the modern age of social networking, and this is what has made Snapchat so addictive. We often forget that the audience with whom you share something can mean as much as the message. It’s not just what photo you’re sharing, but who you’re sharing it with. It’s not just about the short-lived nature of the photo, but about the people briefly glimpsing it. Without an audience, snapbragging about the infinity pool you’re dipping your toes into comes guilt-free.”

“As layer upon layer of information has accumulated, we’ve become acutely and increasingly aware of just how much digital stuff has our names and faces on it.”
