For a while, Elon Musk has promised to bring back Vine. On the day, the short-lived Tiktok pioneer allowed users to post Dopey 6-second videos that curled and could be easily shared. However, as the plans of the Tesla billionaire for the short-form distributors arise, it is increasingly it seems that he (as usual) have excited us all.
Vine, purchased by Twitter in 2012, was officially dead just over half a decade now. After Twitter Killed uploads From the program of the program in 2016, Vito archive Subsiste for another three years until 2019, when the platform drew support for it. Since then, everything that has survived is nostalgia for those Halcyon days, when short-shaped videos have been new and happy, instead of being rough graps of our increasingly fierce information landscape.
Musk Initially floated The idea of bringing back the video exchange program in 2022, not much afterwards He bought Twitter. Since then, he has repeatedly put the return of the app, much for the joy of website users. Last April, Musk again touched a revival grape with One of his many x -ballots. “Come back?” he asked. A vast majority of respondents voted “Yes.” In January, X -user tweeted at Musk, “Think it’s time to get it back.” And Tesla’s general manager personally replied, “We look at it.”
However, as Vine’s “return” approached, it seems more and more clear that the app may not be exactly as you remember it. Monday, Musk promised that the archiveivo of old grapes will return in some form. However, it seems more and more doubtful that the app will be an active service that users can use to make new videos. Instead, Musk implied that Grok’s new AI generator, Imagine (who, Musk boastedcan be used to create NSFW material), will act as a replacement.
“Grok Imagine is Ai Vine!” Musk wrote, In X -Afish Saturday. Few other information has been shared, but it left viewers with the sad suspicion that the new vineyard is not similar to the fun video games of previous years and more will be about repaired by the ai-generated porn slope, which takes over the foods of all uninvited.
Does Musk say that Grok Imagine is the new vineyard? Or will a new version of Vine be launched by X, along with the Archive of old videos? It’s all unclear at the moment. If Vine’s revival only ends up being the AI -Video program of Grok, with Musk doubling it “return” from a vine, then we will all be taken to ride, again. Gizmodo has reached X for more information.
This said, it’s not like someone that someone really needs a grape now. The app occupies its own place in US Technical History, as it has preceded many other short video services, which have continued to become omnipotent by copying its business model (see: Reels and Tiktok). However, despite being a pioneer in the category of programs, whose main social contribution was the decline of our collective attention, it seems that it found success just a little too early. After the app’s acquisition of the app, it enjoyed a few good years before facing an explosion of those competing programs that ultimately exceeded it.
