What is the subscriber count on Snapchat?
In 2020, Snapchat introduced a new feature allowing any user of the application with a public profile to display the number of followers (or subscribers) on their profile.
This feature is really appreciated for transparency purposes.
Before 2020, showing your followers count was not possible on Snapchat because they didn’t believe in such vanity metrics, but they changed their mind on the question.
You can decide to activate the subscriber count on your profile or not.
Why is Snapchat showing subscriber count?
Snapchat actually didn’t reveal the exact reason for such a decision to allow creators to show subscriber count on their public profile, however, we can guess it quite easily.
Indeed, allowing influencers to display this metric will result in better sponsorships by brands and higher rates potentially.
Now, brands can actually know how large the audience of creators is, so they can better pay them basically.
Developing the creator economy through Snapchat will results likely in more active users on the app since it’ll be more pushed by influencers.
Snapchat actually made a very strategic decision by allowing to display the subscriber count.
