No it isn't: I don't use SnapChat!

Are they stupid? In fairness, I don't know how they're making any money at all. I've never seen anyone interact with the discover feed and therefore see ads. There really isn't a way to monetize Snapchat without killing it off.

Is snapchat still a thing? Never used that but I thought from screenshots and memes that tiktok killed it (never used that either)

I asked the same question, my friends all abandoned it for Instagram years ago, but I (an American) am seeing a lot of Europeans using it during my travels

Definitely, I have a few group chats. It's good for general memery and snapping funny things throughout the day.

Mt family/friend group use it as a way to send pics/videos since MMS isn't great for that... at least that's what they say, I don't have it.

I think it's still used a lot for private messaging?

"private"
