Snapchat sparked outrage on social media after the company’s employee claimed that the CEO Evan Spiegel did not wish to expand his business in India because he thinks that the app was not “poor” countries like India and Spain.
“This app is only for rich people…I don’t want to expand into poor countries like India and Spain,” Evan Spiegel purportedly said. While a number of people expressed disappointment and rage over the CEO’s statement some poked fun at him in a bid to explain how “poor” India really was. Some of them even urged others to boycott Snapchat and even give a poor rating to the app.
The rating of the otherwise popular Snapchat app dropped to a “single star” from “four star” on the App Store. Some of them even posted pictures while deleting the app.
However, some of them gave it back to Snapchat CEO in the most hilarious way. Check out some of the hilarious messages doing rounds on the social media.
