Edit: seperated quote, to make more sense, bottom quote is under image

You are correct:

If you look at the article, it has the following under the image you are talking about:

A man standing next to a pool in a scene from the ‘Top Vine Ice Bucket Challenge’ compilation video on YouTube.

Vine helped the Ice Bucket Challenge — which raised money for ALS — go viral. At its peak, around 200 million people used the app which had Twitter integration. Vines Collections/Youtube

I’m still amazed that people like short-form video in the first place, but if TikTok exits the US market, which it sounds like they may, I suppose it’d be better to have a company enter the market. Don’t really want the number of competitors to keep shrinking, if you’re a consumer of that content.

Dozens of people, dozens!

A good amount, a lot of the elite and people with social influence share information, while the people also share news pretty quickly.

I know will enough, some may be false or not confirmed, but helpers are always willing to call it out when they learn and try to share that knowledge with us.

Maybe they could buy Vine?

For how much? $2?

Probably something closer to $30,000,000.
