The deadline is probably improbable, just like the one Musk apparently set for commercializing Twitter’s verification service. The business reportedly stopped updating Vine more than six years ago, according to Axios. Regarding the software’s codebase, an insider told the site, “It needs a lot of work.” Even if the platform does return, it’s difficult to imagine it competing with TikTok and YouTube Shorts at this point. The “For You” algorithm, which always seems to know what videos will keep you engaged in the app, is largely responsible for TikTok’s success. Nothing comparable ever existed for Vine, and many of its most successful producers have gone on to other platforms.
