Snapchat hasn’t always sought to ingratiate itself within the digital creator community, and its widely-reviled redesign was seen by many influencers as a slap in the face -- given that their Stories are now being distributed amid a slew of Discover publishers that their fans didn’t necessarily choose to follow.
