Fun fact that I’ll shorten: (vine creators) all met at 1600 Vine in Los Angeles with Twitter execs. Creators asked Twitter for money because _we_ we’re getting offers by competitors to become exclusive to their platform, Twitter denied paying up, and all creators moved to other platforms. It only took a few months for the user base to die out.
- aty268 7y agoHuh that is a fun fact. Crazy how one bad decision can just destroy your company.
- paysonderulo 7y agoCrazy how refusing to compensate the people responsible for generating the value of your company can be considered to be just "one bad decision."
- Craighead 7y agoSounds like one decision
- aty268 7y agoIt is a bad decision, I don't see your point.
- dimgl 7y agoIt isn't just one bad decision. It's many decisions. Those decisions don't just come out of "thin air" and destroy the company. They're always a series of decisions which eventually topple over the company. Vine not paying their content creators wasn't just the one time; they were likely consciously not paying their content creators over a long period of time.
- aty268 7y agoThat is a good point, and I agree.
