I Bought The First 5 Things Snapchat Recommended To Me

Oh, I'm a giant piece of watermelon. Bah! (Intro Music) This is Safiya's new intro song. Hello friends, and welcome to another video. Today I'm buying the

first

five

things

I see in Snapchat ads. I've done this before with Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube ads. Basically just to see how specific or personalized the ads are on different platforms based on what they know about me and my interests. Like those other companies, Snapchat has some analytics on me personally. I've had Snapchat probably since 2012 or 2013, so I've had mine for a while. I would say my Snapchat is "set up" more like my Facebook, where I use it more personally than my Instagram, where I literally follow brands.

So I'm curious to see what you think I like. They also say they share information with other companies. Apparently, around your email address, we'll see what happens with that. Nowadays I see ads in a few different places where you definitely see sponsored lenses and geofilters. I'm trash and then they also have more traditional ads between personal stories and discovery stories so we're just going to look at everything we can and try to find an ad okay let's do it right so let's open up Snapchat right now. I want to see if we have sponsor lenses. I wish that was the ad I see most often because I go through glasses all the time.

Okay, let's see, oh, I look like this. I'm a little purple koala with a lip and a piercing. I'm Elvis. I am an elephant. I usually see a sponsored lens like at the top of the lens list, but I guess there isn't one today. I'm going to take a photo and then check the filters just to see if there are no sponsored geofilters nearby. It seems that Los Angeles Los Angeles Battery full. I never see that one. Yes, I don't see any sponsored geofilters for businesses. I just don't think we're close enough, so let's take a look at some of these stories where I usually see ads after my friends' Snapchat stories.

So let's start looking at some. I'm going to click on my friend Chelsea's story Looks like Chelsea is on Nantucket Looks like they're eating lobster Playing some beer games Oh here we go oh, it's a Snapchat ad for custom geofilters I guess we'll make a Snapchat geofilter That's ours

first

ad saying that geofilters are perfect for any occasion. When filters start at $5.99, why not? Snapchat is fine, why not? What should be the occasion? Tyler and I were talking about this the other day. We don't know when Crusty's birthday is. We say it's Halloween because that's when we first met him.

But it could be today. Alright, we have some templates here. Oh I like this champagne, yes, crisp, I could be 21 years old. No, no, she's turning 16. It looks like when I click on this, I just like Customize the text like I can't actually customize Like the filter. Let me see. If I go back and try to start from scratch. If you let me put a photo of Krusty so it looks like on this page you have the capabilities that you have with a normal Snapchat, which is like adding emojis. Stickers Bitmoji Stickers How to Write Types of Things Honestly, I was hoping for more design potential like I see with regular Geofilters, but I guess this won't work with any of These cats really looked like Krusty, but this one looks like Krusty in terms of attitude, why was it happy birthday Krusty? a bitmoji a sticker and a cat emoji I'm going to say yes to this.

This is my custom geofilter. I have to check Where do I want the geofilter to go? Apparently there's a minimum size that I have to make it big enough to cost at least $5.99, so that's an article below Krusty's Birthday Geofilter Krusty's Birthday is Going to Be a Raucous Event So I Hope You're ready ok so back to the stories Looks like Christine is making tea Uploading a video oh look it's Ben watching a video hmm Touch the crotch oh here's another ad it's for Adidas it says Hashtag here to create it It looks like a little mini video about a soccer team.

They're doing acrobatic

things

, so let's swipe up and see, ooh, Cool Gold Cleets, they're doing some backflips, what are they advertising? However, when I swipe up it's just this video. There is no specific similar product. They don't send it to me. adidas is a website that just made me watch the video. I think it's fair game for me to buy anything I want from adidas, so let's take a look at the women's tab and see what's going on overall. Adidas stuff. It's pretty expensive, but I'm a little nervous about how many ads we might get tonight, so let's get something we can get at Superstar Sneakers.

Are they friendly? I like the classic looking ones so I say let's get a pair of those because it looks like something I would legitimately wear a lot, so this is item number two. Actually, while we're making this video, people are updating their stories, so I. m I'm just going to keep clicking on the most recent. Let's see what Gabby's doing. It looks like Gabby is spinning. Hello, kind sir. Is it Shawn Mendes, ooh, okay, here we go, next ad. Is this a Victoria's Secret ad? It's called New Sexy. When I swipe up, I'm sent directly to the Victoria's Secret website.

The first thing they say is the new sexy. So what happens if I just click on it? I mean, I do push-ups, oh? Alright, yeah, scrolls down to the Pushup for me, oh, these are great down here These, down here They're like bralettes so you can wear them like Under the sheer top Snapchat Can you see me? I think the ad was Specifically for The Body By Victoria Bras, so let's grab it? One of these in push-up style, see you? It'll give me a good push if it makes a good push of things, okay, so that was three story announcements.

Let's check out Discover and see what Discover has in store for us. I don't watch a lot of Discover content, but I know. There are ads within Discover stories. Here's one from the Daily Mail. Apparently, Rob Kardashian is out of hiding. A baby elephant was saved by jackals. Wait, not from the jackals, okay? So here's an ad and it's actually for Snapchat Spectacle which I already have. You should know that I definitely posted to my Snapchat story before using Spectacles. Maybe they're like, "Maybe you'll buy another one." I don't think I need a second pair. I think I need my own pair more Hi Krusty and Tyler, okay, so let's keep checking these discovery stories to find something I don't have yet.

How about Cosmo Celebs? Wow Hobbies Live, so this is just an article about everything Apparently Oh here's an ad, okay? So I'm a Starbucks soda ad, the one they thought of, the ad is called Black Cherry Lime, let's scroll up and see what they lather up. Oh, the swipe up option is actually just my settings. I thought I could swipe up. Buy it, but really anything, get this part. Okay, great, that's announcement number four. Let's see if we can't find one more. Add in these stories of discovery. Okay, so this is a story for the Outside Lands music festival.

So in this, they've curated a bunch of festival snapshots into one story, ah, classic port-a-potties. Wow, okay, there was actually an ad in the This Outside Land story. um, it's for John Frieda Haircare. Hello everyone, we are very excited to share. a story with you and your hairstyles to make a statement Thanks Campaign It seems like they are recording some kind of single and it somehow has to do with John Frieda, it keeps disappearing so I keep atoms like Click Back Into It and actually the publishing app for that in The story is this girl brushing her hair with a John Frieda Music Flask flat hair brush, it's all coming out.

This, the ad is definitely like an awareness campaign. They literally say, "Wait until our thing comes out and then." Check it. They're not selling me anything specific, so I'll go and see what seems to match my hair type and we'll try it. That's item number five and that means we have all five of our Snapchat items, so we have the custom geofilter, the Adidas shoes, and the Victoria's Secret. Bra, Starbucks' soft drink and John Frieda's ambiguous product. I think I'm most excited about the Adidas shoes and the Victoria's Secret bra, and of course I'm excited to celebrate Krusty's 16th birthday.

What better way to celebrate them with a custom geofilter. Well, that's right. It's time to go to Snapchat. I have all my stuff here and the Krusty geofilter is ready to be deployed. So let's get into it, so first up are these Adidas shoes. Now I'm not sure exactly what inspired Snapchat to give me this ad. It was like Just like dyes doing tricks Football store, which I'm not against, but I wouldn't say it's like in my Wheelhouse. It was also a pretty big ad and didn't have a link to a specific product, which meant I got to choose So I

bought

these classic Superstar shoes.

I thought this is a style that a lot of people have been wearing recently and I've had my eye on them for a while now. I feel like I'm going to look too sporty and ready for Action There we go, always an interesting experiment When do I like it? Cute shoes that I commonly wear As my feet are quite long I feel like I sometimes look like I'm wearing slippers but with these I think it works well, there is a bit of arch support which is exactly what I feel in general with my flat feet . Normally I wouldn't follow that Adidas ad, especially since I didn't like the link anywhere, but you know, for the purposes of this experiment, I was excited to get these shoes and I really like them.

I think they're super cute, so this. The next product is John Frieda Haircare. I'm not sure how curated the John Frieda ad was for me, but it seemed curated for the Outside Lands live story because of the people in the ad who seemed to be musicians. I don't think there is a Dixie Chicks, but I don't know who they are, so I

bought

some John Frieda shampoo and conditioners. I guess Joan Freed is a company that makes these shiny net things that are fun, so I'm washing my hair with these today. It's the right time to shower, so it says it infuses rich dark tones.

You can deepen the spectrum of your natural brown color. I'm not sure what difference we'll be able to see in just one wash, but John Frieda, the Raita, thought of all of you. Right, let's open our? Actually in Morena Visibly Deeper Colors Intensifying Shampoo is quite nice, is it nice to lather, well the other guys? Yeah, I feel pretty good, though here's the conditioner. I'll dry it well. Take the ending. Good night. I'm serious. Feel like a commissioner. I just want to know if my brown hair color has improved incredibly after this shampoo experience. I don't believe it.

I can see any kind of results in this wash, but I liked how it smelled and how it felt. My scalp can be a little delicate so I don't think I'm going to start using just this one. I'm ready to add it to the rotation here and there, we'll see if dandruff appears, so next up is my Victoria body sexy push up bra, I feel like this ad was decently targeted at me like they know my demographic. So Victoria's Secret is probably like someone wants a bra. Do you have this? Advertisement I will say that it feels really nice and smooth.

I just stroked him while I talked. I hope it is just as comfortable. When I put it off, I tried to choose the most revealing shirt to show off the pushup. I'm selecting my blue mussels but of course I don't have any cleavage yet so it hardly matters. I'm not sure if it's the most flattering bra for me. I got A 32d, but maybe I should go for A 34a. like a little bigger band size But other than that, I really like the material of the bra. I do not know what it is. I don't think it's cotton, but it's nice and soft and I want to pet it, so next up.

Is this Starbucks soda with lime and black cherry? I don't know if it was very directed at me. I have a Starbucks account, so you might like to know, but also a lot of people drink Starbucks, okay? Let's take a sip. Not bad. I have had soft drinks. before and I think the other flavors are better. This one has a strange aftertaste. You might want to try it. Yes, I feel like an idiot. Or I want to try this. I really like soft drinks. There is no opportunity for what? It just tastes like they were mixed with Capri soles at the same time.

They don't work at all. I actually like the other refreshing flavors I've tried. I just don't like this one. I like this one. Yeah. They keep it though, uh, okay, so the last thing is the Crusty Birthday custom geofilter that was approved and I bought it as an in-app purchase last night, so let's see how. Look in real life. I'm going to take a selfie, oh? My fingers look very long, like thisLet's take a look at the geofilters and see our Krusty's birthday geofilter in Los Angeles. Living my best life and I'll get it, oh there it is, happy birthday Krusty, oh WoW and magnificent, happy birthday Krusty.

How old are you? Today you requested birthday, we made you a little kitten cake. It's mostly like tuna, egg white, cheddar cheese, and some shrimp garnish on top. Krusty likes cheese. I hope Rusty likes this. Because I don't, are you on the lookout? Crush, you're lucky. What do we choose today as your birthday? We had a few hours of fun with the custom geofilter and I think Krusty enjoyed his birthday party. Krusty is running away from the hot dog boy, happy birthday Percy, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, dear Krusty, happy birthday to you!

You like shrimp, so I guess from now on August 13th will be known as Krusty's birthday. Anyone who maybe really likes going through geofilters, so I think it was a pretty general announcement, but still So it was quite fun. I'm not sure when I'll do it again, but it gave me enough enjoyment that I'll consider doing it. Okay, so that was my Snapchat. Shows my overall impression of Snapchat. Add that they are all quite different from each other and come in different formats, some are interactive, others you can like, press up to see more or be linked to a website. some loop Some play and I wish there was a little more uniformity.

I feel like the type of companies that advertise on Snapchat are the most similar to the type of companies that advertise on YouTube in general, they are companies or brands that I have already heard of and are simply doing some kind of awareness campaign about their brand in general or perhaps a new product they are launching. I don't think any of the ads were super personalized to me or even like my personality, even based on my demographic, but I will say that this has been one of my favorite aisles in terms of the items I purchased.

I think my favorite thing was probably the pair of Adidas shoes, but I actually made them, really? Enjoy Krusty's birthday geofilter, you know. I love that cat, I just want to shower him with a love that he doesn't understand and that we will never know. You're welcome, Krusty.
