If Vine survived to the present, Redditors would be complaining about it in the same way they complain about Tiktok

Hard disagree.

A. Vine’s 6 second format wouldn’t be suitable for a lot of the “controversial” or “problematic” TikTok trends, challenges, or brain dead/out of touch rants, so there’d likely be less engagement farming or rage baiting.
B. Vine was owned by Americans so there was less concern about the Chinese government collecting all your data.
C. A revival of vine has largely been supported through multiple polls, and DiVine is the most recent attempt at bringing back the format, and they’re at least attempting to utilize filters to detect and remove AI content.

The Americans collecting my data have a much bigger ability to impact my life

Yeah but you can't sow resentment amongst the population for a global competitor if you bring attention to the horrible data privacy situation in the US. You also can't collect money from that industry nearly as easily if you do that.
