TikTok Is Better Than Vine

Once the algorithm catches on to your likings, the flavor on tiktok is immaculate

there’s something about tiktok that’s like injecting sugar straight into ur bloodstream

i’ve seen no promotion or advertisement for byte

i’m 21 and a lot of people around my age refuse to download the app because they think it’s “childish.” and then they’ll send me funny tiktoks that were reposted on instagram that i saw three weeks ago. like,,, please get off your high horse and just download the app

I got vine in it’s early days and I still had the app downloaded when they deleted it. I also got tiktok a few months before the name changed from musically. so I kinda watched vine go from it’s glory days to the end and I watched tiktok go from a weird app with only old people and furries to a rebranded, well established app. I don’t think you can really compare the two because the fyp on tiktok caters to the users preferences, but, tiktok is definitely a better designed app and allows for more variety. vine was good and is more iconic, but the app just wasn’t as good as tiktok… obviously because no one used it in the end.

“And Jason derulo. I don’t know what’s up with him lately” lmao I don’t think any of us do 💀😂

There are SO many tik toks out there that have “vine energy” as the kids call it. The algorithm once it learns what you like is amazing. The two massive issues I’ve witnessed are the multiple forms of racism (stealing IP from creators of color without credit, keeping racist tik toks up but banning or blocking the tik toks that call out the racism, etc) AND horrendous cyber bullying. The comments I see on the video of a 15 year old girl just dancing are so so cruel.

otherwise though, amazing amazing app. There is something for everyone.

U should trademark gurg before someone else geta any ideas lmaoo

IMO January 2019 tiktok was very similar to vine when it was furries vs gamerboys and i wanna be tracer but after time it started having more dancing videos instead

I really died at the “this is advanced racism”

Yes! However, my biggest problem with Tik tok is people who frequently “work the system” and have figured out the algorithm to the T, duets allow people to easily “steal” other people’s content. You can remove the “duet” tag and the video then counts as your own. I’ve seen countless videos of white people duetting black creators content and just nodding their head and getting more likes than the original creator. I’ve seen people literally just watch the video and “react” and remove the og creator’s @ which prevents people from being able to view and the original content easily. It sucks man. But otherwise the app is great, the variety of content is awesome, and it’s nice to have your fyp specifically designed for your interests

imo tiktok is the evolved version of vine, its like internet humor 3.0 and is even more meta and the kids on tiktok have grown up with internet content even more than us, like usually vine was way more random/absurd humor/physical comedy (which was great and new) but tiktok has all of it — it’s vine, twitter, youtube, musically, and tumblr put into one platform, which is like paradise and literal hell rolled into one lmao but like you said the algorithm leaves a little bit more of a chance for diversity and the personal stories of ppl , creative stuff, and like ~political commentary (good AND hellish) are way more of a thing than on vine and thats cool. The similarity to vine like you said as well is the « home » feeling when you get a window into someone else’s everyday life. but the racism, popularity of bad content by rich white kids, very questionable stuff is thill there too yea .. the big trends in formats that everyone does to me is sort of twitter-like, that can be both iconic and annoying but i think yeaaa its pointless to compare it to vine cause vine is outdated now and it had its time
