Amazing. It's the horrible "buy gold to unlock this artificial constraint!" gimmick from terrible F2P mobile games, except now they're sellign the another chance to peek at naughty bits.

They're going to make a buttload of money with this.

A breastload even.

The artificially limited media of snapchat has never enticed me. If I want to exchange naughty bits I'll use a secure messenger and own up to my pictures. I mean, if you don't want people to see them then it's best not to take them, right? These days it's WAY too easy for your private pictures to become public.

For pics/vids which are a max of 10 seconds this works out to $120hr!

From the site: They’re a little pricey — but time is money! ;)

clearly they are.
