Kylie Jenner asks who uses Snapchat anymore, company loses $1.3 billion market value
For people who think reality star Kylie Jenner's social media fan following has suffered owing to her pregnancy-hideout period are in for a shock.
The social media influencer cum cosmetic brand giant tanked Snapchat's market value with just a single tweet on February 22.
Taking to Twitter, Kylie shared what seemed a harmless tweet questioning who uses Snapchat any longer?
She wrote: "sooo does anyone else not open Snapchat anymore? Or is it just me... ugh this is so sad."

She continued tweeting and soon wrote how she loves the platform, but by then the damage was already done.
She wrote: "still love you tho snap..my first love."
