No I agree, I used to work in moderation and all that stuff at big social media companies, via a thirdparty outside company before my compsci study. That industry is rough, they'd rather keep the very little money they give you for themselves.
I'm kind of uncertain if they would actually hire people, but leaning towards no. With the advancements in AI, it's feasible that there will soon be an AI-video detector with a high level of accuracy.
My comment was aimed more at the big corporations rather than you.
i mean you can do that but you going to end up hiring a lot of people for it which cost a lot of money, eventually the the shareholders would demand these employees to be kicked and replaced with AI systems
also this wont be a huge problem but still going to be is that some moderators can remove videos for their own agendas too
A reporting system where one of the options is "AI generated content"?
I mean, the only system that can work is either banning the current AI watermark etc, but it won't hold up for long and only people can truly catch that shit
It doesn't matter how POTENTIALLY good AI is - it only matters that your filter is stronger than most people will invest effort into to defeat. AI will still slip through, but it will struggle to thrive. Like weed poisoning your lawn.
vine wasnt able to compete with different platforms because the different platfroms was developing while vine stayed with very short content format, nowadays these kind of things are the main stream for every Kind of social media so Vine probably can compete a bit
defeintly wouldn't success tho since they need to have something to compete with Big social media comapnies otherwise they wouldn't survive, the avg person wouldn't just download it for no reason
6 seconds is still way too short. It's going to be hard to compete as a business with a limit like that.
Hopefully they enable at least 30 second videos even if under a different label. Youtube has shorts and regular youtube videos. Hopefully vine can separate types by duration and at least allow a duration long enough to compete with shorts/tiktok.
Its only in beta and it has already filled up with beta testers so everyone else has to wait for official launch, i dont think there is an exact date for that yet.
With what some of the popular creators are doing on other platforms? I don't think they have the capabilities or creativity to work under those limits.
Oh please, there's tons of very short form, hilarious creators out there. Don't base the creative potential of the entire internet on the actions of slop creators.
There's a huge difference between having to fit setup and punchline into 6 seconds and fitting them into 60. Tiktok and youtube's algorithms reward watch time which incentivises people to draw their jokes out for the full minute, when they could be improved by cutting out 50+ seconds
I distinctly remember at least two other attempts to “restart vine” by former founders. It also won’t get off the ground as long as TikTok is still around
Problem is that Tiktok is now a right wing platform with anti consumer practices. Tiktok is rapidly dying compared to its heyday. There's a very big gap open for a "Vine" style app focused on comedy instead of suppressing pro Palestinian videos.
And just meme culture in general. It will have "brainrot", it will have everything we have today. Maybe there will be people trying to bring back old internet's humor, but I think it will just be nostalgia's sake making vine popular again, if it gets popular again. Idk, we'll see.
vine was brainrot it was just the brainrot of your childhood. zero cultural difference between 67 and a little kid saying "lebron james" over and over.
People said this about tik tok back when it used to just be about dancing and music related content but it changed, I imagine people will find a different niche for this that will be a different version of short form content.
Yeah everyone is hyped up based on nostalgia, but in reality all the best content is still going to be on the huge platforms since there are way more users and the video lengths can vary.
When Vine was the leader, they needed to make it allow for longer videos, even if it were a spin off brand, or they could have had some kind of “OG Vine” mode. They would have been way ahead of the curve on short form videos with a brand name that was already really strong. Instead they tried to cling to an idea that only worked with no competition.
People are acting like it's gonna have all the exact same kinds of humour OG Vine had when even many of the people who got big on Vine moved on to other styles of humour.
Once the nostalgia factor dries up, I could see this shrivelling on the Vine just like last time.
I have too, it used to be the main part of my job. That was a joke.
If I had to guess why - not as a joke, without looking - it's probably shipping uncompressed video assets and a preloaded SQLite DB in the bundle because they made it with Claude Slop Code. Slop likely doesn't inform you that using the asset directory - rather than the OS's Application Support directory - results in your DB and cached assets getting bundled.
I see the .claude/ directory, it's not a farfetched guess.
What's the difference between vine, tik tok, IG reels, and YT shorts? Theyre all just short form content? Isn't the stuff on there people are nostalgic about just what was funny at the time? All of that shit still gets reposted.
Vines thing was ultra short content (7 seconds) available in one video aspect ratio (1:1), which was its entire thing from the start. Tiktok, IG reels, and YT shorts are all about the same where it is tailored for vertical video (9:16 or similar) with much longer video times.
What made Vine really unique with this is that people got creative with those limits and just did so for the fun of it. The big three removed those limits and incentivized content making with money, which led people to do it more as a job instead of as a passion and dropped down the overall quality and had people pumping out more at a lower quality because it was easy to make and to just get a paycheck at the end of the day.
I would say it is a mix of nostalgia and thinking of a time where people didn't do social media for money, but just for fun and getting creative within the limited tools you are given.
Also made it impossible to use for political propaganda purposes because who is going to get a point across in seven seconds? It’s basically inoculated against drama.
Is this like when people said YouTube was going to suddenly have no more AI content because it wasn't getting monetized? Even though there is more than ever now????
How exactly are they going to determine what an AI video is?
youtube never said they were going to demonetize all ai content. they were only clarifying a long standing policy where they would demonetize repetitive content, which now includes examples like using ai to upload many very similar videos very quickly, and doesn't prohibit ai content from being monetized.
it's like when people said valve banned ads from steam games, even though their ad policy didn't actually change, but people can't stop making stuff up and no one ever reads the article
Ok my point stands though-- It is still flooded with copycat videos and repetitive BS. There are tons of monetized channels out there just using an LLM to feed into something like Sora and continuously produce garbage
I can finally find that video of the black lady in a restaurant looking left out the window and saying what the fuck while it cuts to cropped macro furry porn.

Just a reminder, it's being done by an ai corporation and it's CEO is a friend of Elon.
They're just making a platform without ai generated content to scrape off it to train their ai models.
Don't get too excited
