Was vine the single most mishandled company, or perhaps most ahead of its time of the app era?>sold for 30 million, cheap Chinese knock off was just valued at half a trillion>even the knock offs of the knock off are worth more>shut down before it even had a chance to profit from the concept it introducedOf course it’s just as likely vine never had the capability to develop their algorithm as TikTok has.
>>107652370what is it?
>>107652370>>107652383Vine was TikTok before TikTok until the website formerly known as Twitter bought them out and then shut them down because the top 18 vine creators decided to unionise. For some reason, they did not think to just algorithmically push new creators to the top of Vine
>>107652370The 7 second video time limit as too short. There was no way to share real original content like music or non-ADHD skits, no way to create addictive videos ("informational"/coomer/political/ etc). The most exposure I had to vine were youtube cringe compilations.
>>107652517I forgot it only allowed 7 seconds. I have to think they would’ve got rid of that eventually.
It was too soon. Now with the ADHD retards it'd eat tiktok lunch. Maybe juste increase the duration to 9s.
>>107652383WHAT ARE THOOOOOOOSE?
>>107652930They couldn't afford more than 7 seconds at the time. Serving millions of videos was more expensive in the early 2010s. Since this was a limiting format, it capped how much they could grow. Tiktok could do 15 seconds on release and was able to get to 60s in a couple of years. There was way more data center capacity when tiktok came out and there would be exponentially more as time went on, so it was easier for them. Plus they were backed by Chinese capital and technology already established in China. Vine basically came out a few years too early to succeed.
