The causes of the collapse

In a letter to investors, Snap explained that a weakening economy, increased competition from other social media platforms and “platform policy changes” continued to hurt its business in the fourth quarter.

Snap announced on Tuesday that current quarter revenue could decrease by up to 10%which also motivated the strong cuts in their titles.

The company will celebrate its investor day on February 16th to detail his plan for moving forward after announcing in August that he would lay off 20% of his workforce and suspend experimental projects, such as a camera drone, to cut costs.
