    There was that brief period of time where Vine existed and had actual quality content.

    Then the short video format was shittified after everyone began doing it, and fairly rapidly devolved into mindless attention seeking nonsense / micro personal update vlog… or worse.

      Well humans are making them. Vine and other early adopter places (Lemmy) are nice until the “masses” find it.

      It’s awful, but people eat it up. Add in profit margins and companies jump on smelling that sweet sweet profit.

      Tik Tok is blocked in my house but unfortunately reels/yt shorts have no easy way to block without affecting the rest of the service.
