Vine will always be superior to tiktok, not due to nostalgia but because 6 seconds is long enough for a joke but short enough to prevent someone from going on unhinged rants or spreading misinformation. Meanwhile, """funny""" tiktoks are like 2 minutes long with 1 minute and 50 seconds of that just building on the setup over and over - or they're effectively a text post with a person's face there. AND people are able to spread misinfo/go on unhinged rants. That's two L's in a row

LITERALLY THO. The only funny tiktok skit I've seen is the one where a guy is pretending to be two kids trying to convince their mother to take them to olive garden, but everyone speaks in this very official kinda medieval way. But it would very very easly become annoying if it was stretched out for another 10 minutes or if the same gag was used for another tiktok. Also "IT'S ME BOY, I'M THE PS5" but that's self evident.

Yeah, also like Vine the best comedy doesn't come from "comedy" accounts. But also I think more people are trying to monetize it in a way fewer Vine folks did (minus, like, the Paul brothers and their crew). If you make a funny tiktok that's your thing and your brand now, you're the "dog farts while walking down the stairs" account so you better make sequels so people will buy your Cameo.
