Elon Musk hints at a possible Vine comeback after TikTok’s recent issues, sparking curiosity about the app’s future
San Francisco: So, let’s chat about Vine. Remember that quirky app where you could share six-second videos? It was a playground for memes and viral moments, and it gave rise to stars like Logan Paul and Shawn Mendes.
Vine was basically TikTok before TikTok was a thing. It was all about quick, funny clips that looped endlessly. People got super creative with just six seconds, turning everyday moments into hilarious bits.
Now, the big question is whether Elon Musk is serious about bringing it back. He’s got a lot on his plate with Tesla and SpaceX, but he’s been dropping hints about reviving Vine. Recently, he even asked folks on X if they wanted it back, and a ton of people said yes.
Vine was a hit, reaching 200 million users by 2015, but it shut down in 2017 because creators couldn’t make money. They all jumped ship to platforms like YouTube and Instagram, looking for better opportunities.
After the shutdown, Twitter tried to keep the spirit alive with Vine Camera, but it didn’t really take off. Now, with Musk at the helm of X, it seems like there’s a chance for a Vine revival, especially since X already supports video content.
But who knows? Reviving Vine might take a while, and by then, we’ll see if TikTok is still the king of short videos or if it’s fading away.
