I guess the data mining was the missing ingredient for popularity?

Vine never allowed more than a 6 second clip. Other platforms immediately included short video formats upon Vines success, but added more flexibility to content creators. When content creators got "Vine famous" they moved to other platforms that allowed for flexibility in content. Vine died when it had no more creators.
It is content and content creators that make a platform successful or not. It's why platforms like Netflix, YouTube, Twitch, etc., pay big creators millions of dollars for exclusive rights to their content. Anyone can make a content sharing platform, but they can't take content.
Yeah I think paying the creators generously and allowing them to make a good living is how tiktok got off the ground so fast.
I really love the vine 6 sec sketch format but I only ever watches compilations on youtube. It's like a box of chocolate, you never know what you'll get, but eat enough of them... :D PS: Man this makes me nostalgic about those ancient times when everything wasn't going to shit yet
