I'm just curious what you thought might have happened to Snapchat? What app took its place in your estimation?

[–] atmur@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think I got Snapchat and Vine mixed up or combined in my head. I've never used either one, I thought it shut down years ago, but what I'm remembering is Vine shutting down.

Vine was basically TikTok with shorter videos. I feel like it was a bit ahead of its time - phone cameras weren't as good when it launched, and a lot of people didn't have enough data to watch a feed full of videos.
