The digital advertising space has been on an absolute roller coaster ride so far in 2022. In particular, Snapchat’s parent company Snap Inc (NYSE: SNAP) has experienced a number of record-setting days, both good and bad. Back in February, Snap stock surged over 50% following a surprisingly upbeat forecast for Q1. But, more recently, Snap stock plunged 43% in a single day after Snap’s management adjusted this forecast. Essentially, the global economy is deteriorating faster than the company predicted. As a result, Snap now expects lower revenue, earnings, and hiring in the months ahead. So, is this lower forecast a reason to stay away from Snap stock? Or is it the perfect time to load up on one of the world’s most popular social media stocks? Why is Snap Stock Down? Thanks to rising interest rates, the Russia/Ukraine conflict, and supply chain constraints investors’ confidence has hardly ever been lower. This uncertainty is why companies across all different typles of industries are getting slammed. A few examples are GameStop, Nvidia and Abbvie, which have all been moving erratically. But this erratic movement is particularly evident in the digital advertising space. In Snap’s case, it proposed and reversed its Q2 2022…

Should you always be wary of your partner’s ex? For Hailey Bieber, the answer would certainly be “yes”. On May 29, it was her best friend, Justine Skyewho attacked Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber’s ex, on social networks. “Doing TikToks every day like you don’t have a shitty make-up brand to deal with”, said the 26-year-old singer via her Snapchat stories in reference to the brand “Rare Beauty” by Selena Gomez, just after sharing a selfie with her best friend Hailey Bieber. And if Justine Skye tried to justify this act by the sudden hacking of her Snapchat account, fans of Selena Gomez think rather of a jealous crisis of her best friend. “I don’t know why anyone would think that after not posting on Snapchat for years, I would go on Snapchat to say THAT. Obviously I got hacked”she justified herself on Twitter. Because since the breakup between Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez in 2018, followed by Justin Bieber’s new relationship with Hailey, their fans have not let them go, Hailey Bieber often at the center of altercations. Like in 2021, for example, during the Met Gala, when Selena Gomez fans chanted her name while the Bieber couple walked the…

A video on social media posted after a schoolboy's alleged murder could be vital in piecing together how the 15-year-old died, detectives have said. The footage, which was shared on Snapchat, is thought to have captured part of the incident which saw the teenager allegedly stabbed in the Black Country. It comes after detectives launched a murder probe when the boy was fatally injured in Wolverhampton on Friday, May 28. He was part of a group of people outside Pendeford Fish Bar, in The Haymarket, at about 3.40pm.
