      titkok and vine were never really competing against each other (though musical.ly was but it never really caught on), plus i think to an extent tiktok's spectacular popularity is a bit of a pandemic outlier

          I think if Vine hadn't gone under it would have evolved into basically exactly what TikTok is now. The reason people remember it as being better is strictly because it had a smaller user base.

      We killed vine like 3 times. Annoying AF format. I find TikTok to be a cancer format too but it's what the kids like so who am I to judge. It's gen Z's thing now. :seen-this-one: .
