Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t TikTok essentially just a more developed version of Vine?

I remember Vines taking off in popularity before it being shut down for a reason I never fully understood.



And where is Vine now? Nothing is blank sheet new, everything is building on top of something and iterates and the truth is, when the US-made social media consolidated on politics and glamour photos TikTok came up with something fun and creative and apparently people love it.
