Someone needs to coin a term for businesses like Snapchat. They offer nil in the way of progress, yet act like they are all about progress. They offer no lasting value, yet you know they store all these snaps and will sell your info later through meta tags. They offer a free service, so you know you're the product. They target teenagers whose minds have not fully developed and sell their info to adults so they can advertise to them more effectively.

They should shut down their service, take the money they have, and make something that improves the world.

We don't really need another leech, or a shell vehicle for the rich to hedge in.
