Snap Inc.’s flagship platform has lost some luster, at least according to one social-media influencer in the Kardashian-Jenner clan.

Shares of the Snapchat parent company sank 6.1 percent on Thursday, wiping out $1.3 billion in market value, on the heels of a tweet on Wednesday from Kylie Jenner, who said she doesn’t open the app anymore. Whether it’s the demands of her newfound motherhood, or the recent app redesign, the testament drew similar replies from her 24.5 million followers. Wall Street analysts too have begun to notice, citing recent user engagement trends noticed since the platform’s redesign.

Jenner’s tweet was followed late Thursday by one from Maybelline New York, asking its followers if it should stay on the Snapchat platform. The beauty-product brand owned by Paris-based L’Oreal SA said its “Snapchat views have dropped dramatically,” but it still wanted to connect with its followers.

Citigroup analyst Mark May downgraded the stock to sell from neutral earlier this week after seeing a “significant jump” in negative reviews of the app’s redesign. He expects the reviews could cause user engagement to fall, hurting financial results.

Meanwhile, as the app takes criticism, Chief Executive Evan Spiegel may become one of the highest paid executives in the U.S. After the company’s IPO last March, Spiegel got a $636.6 million stock grant that will be payable through 2020.

"Still love you tho snap," Jenner hedged in a later tweet.

a bafflingly awful redesign just for the sake of doing it alienates millions of customers, including celebrities. seems like the right outcome

Snapchat has never been profitable. Sticking with their old design because the "customers" who pay them no money but use a shitton of bandwidth is stupid. Sure, a redesign might destroy the company, but the old design wasn't working either.

this is the attitude of hordes of programmers and IT guys who have to "tinker" around with something that already works just to justify their existence. most software and apps have gotten worse as time goes on, which is ridiculous

This is a genuine problem, but it's not the case with snapchat. Snapchat has never made money. The goal of the app was to make money. Therefore, the app has never worked and with the old design likely never could work.

The redesign might not work, but that doesn't make the old design a good one. There are a lot of things that "work" if you're willing to just burn VC money.

Securities mastermen, if you had a twitter account like this would it be legal to short snapchat just before destroying their tiny pink stock like this?

you're not an insider. why not?

people do this all the time. isnt this exactly what ackman did with herbalife to piss off icahn? some big time investor bets against a stock and then shits on it publically to drive the price down to execute his short position.
