The Top 30 YouTubers on Snapchat
Snapchat was initially released in September 2011, and despite its incredible modern popularity, it didn’t really pick up until two years later, in 2013. From this point onward Snapchat started to accelerate growth in a massive way and it grew rapidly, as a favorite among teens and young adults. Today Snapchat has been adopted by the public at large – especially with young people and it’s easy to see why. Snapchat provides a simple way to interact with both friends and a massive audience through video. It’s one-to-many functionality draws a ton of parallels to YouTube today, but is seemingly more personal. As a result, it’s starting to become more common to see YouTubers on Snapchat, too.
