I was never even on Vine. I'm not trying to be like "iM bEttEr thAn TiktOKers!!!", only that those types of short clip scrolling is so boring. To me at least.

With you there. Actually the only social media I've used was MySpace way back in the day and Reddit. I made a stupid post on MySpace, overshared, wrecked a friendship, got stalked by an ex, and then decided that was enough social media for me, thanks.

Got ya beat. Never in Vine, Twitter, or LinkedIn. Which feels insane as a 30-something.

I'll never escape reddit, though.

Same. I've told my teens that if they ever wonder if I would like to see a video, I wouldn't.

I also find myself annoyed when there's a video explainer for something that I could read in a far shorter amount of time, especially recipes. It's like TikTok was an app designed from my nightmares lol

Yep i just don't get the appeal. I hate it when people send me videos, 99% of the time i wont watch them.

I didn't even know that vine existed up to about a year ago or so. Completely missed it.

By the "end" you could record videos up to 10 minutes long lol. The algorithm is kinda shitty though to be fair, so I understand not wanting to wait around for it to get better.

I’ve dabbled with TikTok and hardly any clip was short

I used to watch the “month’s top vine comps” on YT in like 2013/14(?) but that was about it.

Yeah there were a lot of weird videos. Also too many old classmates and people who were posting weird stuff too. Not interested in letting them know I exist
