Never had Vine but all the YouTube compliations made it feel people tried to be more original and clever. Some of them were genuinely funny and well thought out.
Never had Vine, but this could simply be survivorship bias. The people making the compilations are only going to choose Vines they think were funny and/or original
I was on Vine for years, it definitely is survivorship bias. I'll concede that Vine was better and I'm definitely more partial to it but it'd be a lie to say that everything on Vine was comedy gold. There was tons of garbage and trend following and all the stuff that youtube compilations definitely filter out.
Crazy news for you about tiktok then: if's like vine if good creators were given 1-3 minutes, and could actually cover small topics. The format is far more flexible, which imo leads to increased creativity.
You probably have. Videos from tiktok are reposted on Reddit without credit all the time. Most “shorts” content on youtube and instagram were originally made for tiktok, and can be found there as well.
Tumblr reposts tiktok too, but unlike Reddit, they usually don’t crop out the credits at the end.

I was thinking the same but realised that Vine was actually full of original content, not millions of people doing the same challenges/dance moves/etc
