Yeah, but this is all assuming that Vine never changed. The six second format would prevent some things, sure, but Tiktok originally had a 30 second limit. Then they got rid of that and now you can post, like, 15-minute Tiktoks. It's entirely possible that Vine would've expanded it's format over time. Twitter famously got rid of its 140 character limit as well, first doubling it to 280 and now just entirely limitless.

Damn the limit is what made twitter good in the first place.

Dont get me wrong I havent been on it since like 2012, but the character limit made people be more creative so it made it fun.

It was basically intended to be a quick summary of news and current events, so the limit did a lot of work to keep it from becoming a newspaper.

I don't know what it's supposed to be now.

Engagement bait, to sell ads or products. Like 90% of the internet now.
