I used it for 2 days and deleted. No one I know uses it. Maybe hot with the tween crowd?

Instagram makes money because it shows ads. Are people going to buy Pepsi t-shirts for their Bitmoji and make Pepsi money? I don't see the path to money.




I noticed it was mostly people in my generation (mid 30s to mid 40s) who used Bitstrips during its flash in the Facebook pan a couple of years ago. As for Bitmoji, I've never seen that in use myself (in fact, never knew about it until this article) but then I don't text/chat that often outside of IRC and Hangouts.


Have you used Bitmoji? They have a ton of product placement and are likely making good revenue from it already.

Why would Pepsi want you to pay to wear their ads on your character? They pay Bitmoji to create a shirt with 'Pepsi' on it, users wear it and send it to friends, and now they're sending your ad to eachother.
