I doubt many people here are going to miss it but Twitter just announced that they are closing Vine down. No reason for the closure was given in the official statement: medium.com/@vine/important-news-about-vine-909c5f4ae7a7

Anyone here own Twitter stock? Why do you suppose they did it? They were apparently going to experiment with 140 second videos soon, too.

too much illegal and lewd shit. its just a porn app for nomries

Not profitable enough. Maybe they're just planning on meeting it into Twitter, but I doubt it

>illegal
wat

We're not teenaged girls here, OP. It doesn't affect us.

finally

underage

i honestly didn't kknow twatter owned vone

That's probably the reason but YouTube has been unprofitable as well for the longest time but I doubt Google is going to shut it down or sell it anytime soon, if only to keep anyone else from hogging the market and doing it profitably at that. So is Twitter in hot water now or what? Good riddance if they're actually going to fail I say, but what's going to replace it?

i don't think a lot of people did

Interesting, I thought all the fun had moved over to Bigo

it's all snapchat now bruh

and how to find the wins?

I don't think it's possible for another company to release a decent alternative to youtube unless they're another multi-billion dollar company. Most of the other youtube alternatives (at least targeted for the west) have been shit so far.

Instagram.

go outside

Social media bubble burst in the horizon?

>unless they're another multi-billion dollar company wlling to subsidize and provide a service at a loss
ftfy

there's no money there, plus hopefully adblock will spread even further

Who?

How will black people cope?

Also laying off 9% of Twitter staff.

Obviously just start a new site with venture capitalists.

Can't wait long enough for fagbook and instashit to fall. These two cancers are filled with robots, fake sluts and ads anyways.

Normies won't be able to recover

wtf hiro added sound posts

nice ruse

thank fucking god. now nigger memes will finally die

>2016
>Twitter stocks
Pandering to the jewish media propaganda was the death of twitter, the amount of ads within that site was rotting that website from the inside for years already.

They did it because vine growth completely tanked and was falling rapidly since 2014, again, due to excessive amounts of advertisement, sponsored "content", and an overall really broken platform, no surprise here.

Wasn't this vine just a platform mostly used by niggers, anyway?

Liberal social media bubble is popping.
Facebook is trying so heavily to diversify and broaden their reach because they knew it would happen.
