How are there people at Snapchat HQ going like: "We know what the users want: A terrible AI-Chat forced on them and avatars that don't have our iconic style, but rather a look like they're from your deepest nightmares. Push the update everyone! We are their heroes!"

Everyone looked at Nintendo's Mii's and just ignored everything that made them charming

There’s a chance Nintendo has successfully patented everything about miis that made them charming. Heck, they’ve tried to patent loading screens having info on them.

they tried to patent the gameplay mechanics for Tears of the Kingdom so I'm not surprised if they've done this too.

Miitomo was the best social media platform ever conceived. The world just wasn't ready for it.
