"Turning on ads" is not a magic monetization panacea for an established startup because you will lose users in protest. And there are more than enough replacements for Snapchat for those users to go to.
Which apps are Snapchat replacements? Which ones have an existing userbase?
Instagram. They have direct picture messaging that's very Snapchat like.
They only share the same high-level concept. The execution and actual use-case is very different.
WhatsApp, Kik, Line, etc.
Those are nothing like SnapChat.
Maybe not in functionality, but they hit the same demographic.
