TikTok: Not Even Close to the Glory of Vine

Vine was the OG king of short-form video content. It's easy to see why; it had a simple interface, a low learning curve and provided users with an outlet to exercise their creative abilities. But alas, it is no more. Enter TikTok - a clunky, complicated, awkward attempt at recapturing the same magic.

The app offers too many filters, editing options, and social features that make it difficult to navigate. The videos themselves have become too long and are often filled with cringe-worthy content. If you're looking for a quick laugh, you won't find it here. Unfortunately, TikTok cannot fill the void left by Vine's departure.

It's not all bad though. TikTok has helped launch the careers of some talented artists, but overall, it's simply not living up to the legacy of its predecessor.
