People want the feeling of it being 2014 again. Nobody wants to admit they can never buy back those times no matter how much they post and reminisce
"I miss being able to pretend the people in charge weren't bumbling, incompetent murderers"
Tbh, I do prefer Vines 6 second hard limit to TikTok lettin millennials and leftists go 2 or 3 minutes.
and most of it is them smashing their forehead into a wall in the video with a giant wall of text
I feel like the adoration of Elon Musk is because if you were an adult a decade ago, you might have some sort of nostalgia about it, because his memes are about 5+ years old. If you're a comfortable :soypoint-1: :soypoint-2: , that's your happy place, with none of the confusion about "politics" and "the pandemic that killed your grandma but you just can't bear to wear a mask so just please, please open up the Gamestop again" so you clap,and say :so-true:.
Vine was better than TikTok because the time limit forced these dorks to learn how to edit a video. Y’all let these fucking videos go on for minutes when you only have 10 seconds worth of content
In the next few years, Elon Musk is going to do the following:
Buy McDonald's and make the McRib permanent.
Buy Four Loko and bring back the original formula.
Buy most of the big fast food franchises, and will bring back any discontinued item that people request, until everyone realizes it was discontinued for a reason (Kinda surprised he didn't try to do this with McDonald's during the szechuan sauce arc, that would totally be on brand with him).
He'll get really angry at some Netflix show bring canceled, buy Netflix just to bring it back.
And many other stuff that will not be anything that materially improves anything, just treats-related stuff. Also, during this, he will lose a lot of money, even go bankrupt a few times, but the banks will let him borrow basically infinite money with no interest and no due date to pay them back.
Another company he can sink money into and do nothing with. At best, he'd have the initial hype but then others will quickly remember why Vine fell off and TikTok took over. He'd be better off resurrecting Periscope.
