Summary | Snapchat Discover is a realm in the messaging app that offers advertisers a platform to present their content (which also self-destructs in 24 hours). It is very expensive for advertisers to produce new content each day but some say that they have been able to recruit followers in the hard-to-reach demographic of youths. Snapchat has also made a move to curate the content on their Dsicover platform in order to censor nudity as well as unreliable news sources in order to combat fake news.
