We don’t have hard numbers obviously but a lot of people did miss Vine. Snapchat and Instagram didn’t come close to replacing it’s coolness and connected factor. Not to mention Vine was amazing for black culture. If you think the others replaced Vine then you probably aren’t a heavy social media user. Everyone knows Snapchat is for “rogue” content. Like your random sketchy night out in college that you only send temporarily (the close friend feature on Instagram and DMs never replaced this fully). Instagram is much more for funny content that is longer form or static (this goes serious static content and memes), some short form content (since it has grown with reels), and for clout. The gram has always been for clout first and foremost. I’m not posting my pictures of my new whip on Snapchat or Facebook. Vine was the platform for the great short form collaboration that is equally silly, informative and cool. TikTok is having the exact same effect, but has a feed, comment section, and related video functionality that makes it even better.
