Huh? Are you just going to ignore Vine? Twitter completely screwed the pooch on Vine by not paying creators which drove many high profile influencers to move to Instagram. To attribute TikTok’s success to censorship is to eagerly insert your own political bias into their story. Regardless TikTok, née Musica.ly had already started gaining steam as an American company without any major decision on whether to participate in culture wars
- rapsey 5y agoTikTok is un-american because of their complete disregard for free speech. Ehat you are talking about has nothing to so with what I said.
- dntrkv 5y ago> Twitter completely screwed the pooch on Vine All of the complaints about Google's shuttered apps pale in comparison to this one. Vine had the best community of any of the major apps, back then, and arguably even now. I understand they had trouble monitizing it, but it had a strong, vibrant community, even when they shut it down. If they hadn't neglected it for so long and iterated on the concept, they could have easily been TikTok today.
