If you would have learnt anything in the past decade of social media, it is that these social media companies evolve within months. Telegram became a thing in 2013, Discord in 2015 and TikTok in 2016.
Vines would have simply increased the limit to 10-15 seconds and it would suddenly be used for journalism. TikTok was originally only 3 (not 30) seconds, now it has a varied time limit upto 10 minutes. Instagram and YouTube copied the TikTok/Vines format. Back then, Instagram also copied Snapchat’s Stories.
Yeah and nobody in their right mind would ever try to use Vine for journalism. I’m confused why you think Tiktok is different.
