Is she the second coming of Christ?
Imagine being so powerful that a single tweet sent from your account could devalue a company by one BILLION pounds.
That is what Kylie Kristen Jenner has done with a tweet that is sure to be included in history books for centuries to come.
sooo does anyone else not open Snapchat anymore? Or is it just me… ugh this is so sad.

Einstein could never. Gandhi could never. Marx could never.
Kylie Jenner has changed the course of history because after she sent the above tweet, Snapchat’s shares took a dive of 7.2% thanks to the influence of her 24.5 million Twitter followers.
All credit to the girl, Snapchat’s redesign is absolute garbage. You have to scroll through recent chats to see your friends’ updates, then swipe over to a hideous newsy page to see famous people’s stories. It’s a hot mess, meaning you’re unwittingly being subjected to the Snapchat story of some random teenage girl who’s doing shoddy makeup tutorials with a selection gardening apparatus at the end because it doesn’t stop rolling. Whomever designed this new update was most likely given a brief with said “Hey let’s ruin this seemingly unruinable app. Our aim here is to get people to stop using Snapchat and go back to Instagram. Got it? Cool”.
This is what my Discover page looks like right now:
For context, a little bit about me: I do not care about any of this shit, aside from the story about a passenger farting on a plane, but I’ve already read that earlier in the week because I have Google alerts set up for the words ‘fart’ and ‘passenger’, for reasons I do not wish to get into here. The important point to take away here is that Snapchat has gone to shit.
Kylie Jenner regretfully bitched out of her stance on Snapchat a cool eleven minutes after her initial tweet, where she added a sucky reply:
still love you tho snap … my first love

This is the Twitter equivalent of sending an absolutely savage text to your friend, but ending it with a cute emoji so it softens the blow.
Either way, we need to acknowledge that we’re living in an age where a Jenner and/or Kardashian is more powerful than we ever may have thought. If Kylie Jenner was to tweet “Ew, raisins are disgusting”, Sun-Maid would go out of business within minutes and there would be a worldwide shortage of raisins for decades because raisin farmers would simply give up their trade. Truly, this is quite a time to be alive.
My mission for the rest of 2018 is to get Kylie Jenner to tweet about the extortionate price of Freddos. Stick with us for all the relevant updates.
