My problem with Vine is that it was really hard to find good content. There were so many people just making clips of themselves doing stupid crap. Honestly, the only good stuff I found on Vine while it was up was Thomas Sanders' content.
No looping means 6 second content will not have any impact on the viewer. Maybe producing a 5 minute video and a 6 second video needs different skills.
Don't get the downvote. Seems like it would be constructive to discuss why they didn't succeed on youtube, are there workarounds to whatever to platform difference are, etc.
>According to a Pew Research Center survey last year, almost a quarter of teens used Vine; and of those surveyed, 31 percent identified as black (non-Hispanic) and 24 percent as Hispanic.
Was probably a lot of maintenance effort for something that didn't catch on widely and duplicated Twitter's own video upload feature, except with more limitations (no videos longer than six seconds, in app recording only). Also, curiously enough it was labelled racist because of exactly the same aspects now being portrayed as positive: http://www.digitalamerica.org/vine-redefining-racial-stereot...
NPR, and all the old media are now competing with BuzzFeed etc for clicks. These sites do not hire trained journalist or even writers. What you get even from NPR etc is republish of blog posts someone wrote while eating breakfast with little or no editorial oversight. Its mostly clickbait trash.
And for those who downvoted this there is a very simple test you can do to reveal racism that you may have grown desensitized to. Simply replace the race with another/white and read it back.

It's about the fact that the platform was disproportionately populated and loved by young creative Black and Latinx people.
Why do I post.
