- mtrovo 5y agoMaybe just the right app at the wrong time? To be honest I think TikTok is 20% short videos and 80% AI, so even if you had vine today it would feel totally off compared to TikTok. If you look at social medias evolution the "Feed" concept was first a cronological list of friends' posts then evolved to mix of ads and random friends post to allow for more engagement + monetization. TikTok just got rid of the concept at all, the feed gauge what you want to see by how you interact with the content. I think this was their biggest differential. It's the difference between showing me just stuff that I really like doesn't matter from whom and showing me some ads while holding the content of my friends hostage.
