I once went on a (second) Tinder date in Wolverhampton.

Some random stranger genuinely approached my date's uni friend and asked her for her Snapchat. She gave it to him.

Less than 15 mins later when we're in the supermarket, she gets an unsolicited dick pic from him.

Nudes were what snapchat was made for. That was one of the only reasons anyone I knew got it back when it came out. Half those users were under 18. I'm sure it has changed a lot but likely leaves a imprint that holds over time.
