Snapchat = Scammers

I have a friend who had some issues with snapchat. Two instances:

  1. He had the top viewed spotlight in the world, it should have made around $300,000. Some guy who copied his video got paid $300,000, and he got paid $0.

  2. Then he made a second account because he thought his first account was demonetized. He then got a new phone, where he started using this new account. He had probably 50 million views on spotlight on that account worth easily over $200,000, and they didn’t pay him a single dollar for some reason. All of his content was 100% original and filmed on snap, he was doing it full time and was probably the top 5 spotlight earners, so he knew what to do to avoid demonetization. When he emailed them 10 times about it, they actually did pay him $1234 after giving him $0 for months. By the $1234 amount its quite clear that they just gave him something knowing they did him wrong.

To be honest I doubt anyone can help, this was back in 2021. But why not post it here for awareness and you never know who has a contact that could help - about $400-500k he missed out on :man_shrugging:

yep its crazy

the $1234 definitely wasn’t needed lol - obvious what they did

I don’t know much about this but if you have proof can’t you file a claim? Correct me if I am wrong.

not sure entirely, but if he could he would’ve 100%

he was still happy with what he made with snapchat so he just left it, posted here mainly for awareness to help others avoid this too

Direct contacts with high execs at Snap. If you can put together full documentation where it’s nice and easy to understand what happened (very detailed) happy to review… might can help

If this is true, I would create a thorough story about this, laying everything out, along with proof, and releasing it on SWAPD (and into the world).
