[2][3] A 2006 graduate from the Tisch School of the Arts, Sneider had previously held tenures at Ain't It Cool News, Variety, TheWrap, Mashable and Above the Line.
Other publications Sneider has written for include MTV Movies Blog, Hollywood Life, Washington Square News and the Colorado Springs Independent.
[5] From 2003, Sneider wrote for Ain't It Cool News under the alias "MiraJeff",[5] a portmanteau of his own name with the name of his favorite film studio, Harvey and Bob Weinstein's Miramax.
[6] Sneider had a tenure at Mashable, serving as senior film reporter, which ended in December 2016 following racially charged comments about #OscarsSoWhite, a hashtag which gained popularity online due to a controversy that no people of color were nominated for major acting awards during a stretch of time.
[9] Sneider was responsible for instigating a rumor about actress Sydney Sweeney starring in the film Day Drinker with Johnny Depp, which caused controversy online.
[2][3] Sneider claimed it was the fault of Sweeney's representatives, saying that the "mess" he caused by reporting what his sources told him was just spoiling a "big Cannes [film festival] announcement".
