A bit of backstory for those unfamiliar, the original Vine was shut down by Twitter after they bought it and couldn't find a way to monetize it, now the original creator is making a revival app.

The dude probably made fuckloads of money from the sale. Why not get rich and just make another one even better than the first?
Hell yeah.
Vine: Return of Jafar, or Vine: Electric Boogaloo? :thinking:

Twitter bought the company before it had put out the website.

i mean, if twitter want to come and give you several lifetimes supply of money then you'd be pretty mad not to take it and move on to better things.

so how are they going to host video this time if it got shutdown last time because they couldn't figure out a way to pay for the servers?

Vine was hugely popular and there are now a ton more ways to monetize your product compared to the past. They can easily do what Snapchat does and run vine ads.

Vine was pretty cool when it was around. I remember I'd get drunk and watch "Simply Sylvio" which was something about a guy running around town in a gorilla costume and a dress shirt, I can't quite remember the details. My friends used to get pretty creative with it too. One time they made one that showed them crushing up Doritos, ice and pouring sriracha in a bucket and dumping the contents on me while I was in the shower. Good times, man.
While there were some funny Vines and some cool viners like ProZD on the site I feel like for the most part Vine was a containment center for all the terrible unfunny/untalented people there like Jake Paul and such. When Vine does come back think some/most of them will flood back to the site?

nah dude, they're all making that youtube money now. I could definitely see some of them coming back to it in some way but it's not like they need to at this point
Speaking of Vine stars like Jake Paul, remember when Vine was shutting down and this happened?

[quote]Last fall, nearly 20 of Vine's top 50 creators gathered in a conference room at 1600 Vine Street in Los Angeles to stage an intervention.[/quote]
[quote]The stars had a proposal: If Vine would pay all 18 of them $1.2 million each, roll out several product changes and open up a more direct line of communication, everyone in the room would agree to produce 12 pieces of monthly original content for the app, or three vines per week.
If Vine agreed, they could theoretically generate billions of views and boost engagement on a starving app. If they said no, all the top stars on the platform would walk.[/quote]
$1.2 million each lmao
Vine 2 will probably fail.
The only way I could have seen Vine surviving was if Twitter had, from the start, better integrated Vine with twitter. Otherwise it was just kind of niche floating on its own, had no way of making money, and was being encroached upon hard by competitors like instagram, snapchat aaaaand, twitter.

If my maths is right, that's less than 15 minutes of video a year :v:
Lest we forget about this vine gem:
