Discover will feature stories crafted by different editorial teams. It has been developed with the help of leaders in media and its goal is to put storytelling first.

As Snapchat says, it’s completely up to the editors to decide what will be featured in Discover and no likes, shares or comments will be taken into consideration. Every edition will be refreshed after 24 hours in order to provide relevant content in a timely manner.
But here’s the hint: Each Discover edition will include full screen photos and videos, awesome long form layouts, and gorgeous advertising. Yeap, that’s another revenue stream for the messaging platform, which is added to the ad suite along with Our Story.
With Snapchat reportedly asking for $750,000 for an ad, let’s see if advertisers will embrace it.
