I think it's because of the limit on how long the video could be. It made people be more creative to fit something into the six seconds. Something about the end of it usually getting cut off also somehow made it funnier. I hate tiktok though so I may be biased.

black people use tiktok too :confused:

it's definitely the length. there are some funny tiktoks but there are so many where someone feels like they need to explain something or teach some important message, which is unfunny, but no one is going to try to say anything important in 6 seconds.

the key to enjoying tiktok content is not having a tiktok account. anything worthwhile will eventually show up elsewhere.

nostalgia and youtube compilations. most of vine was garbage or ads most of tik tok is the same except its not brands paying someone to do a funny skit with the label out towards the camera its insane people selling insane poo poo to you.

that said there are good tiktoks street food ones are the ones i like but ive seen good memes. i feel like the comedy skit ones are mostly all bad though. they are all 1 guy playing every part using a filter to change their character and just being like im x ethnicity my mom beat me when i did this lmao. or my mom favored the younger child and hated the older child and ignored the middle child lmao.

i have found some decent stand ups through tik tok though they usually just put one joke from a set in it

Vine is dead so it can never get worse and we'll remember the fun poo poo that was on there while the terrible poo poo is gone forever.

TikTok still lives so we'll see more debased and horrible poo poo, like 16 year Olds selling vapes and energy powder (Use code: SickShrek for 10% off)

Vine didn't pay poo poo, so most of the videos were on other platforms in a longer format. The full length videos were absolute garbage, even if the 6 second vine was great. The same creators continued making the long form videos after Vine shuttered, and they were still garbage, so it wasn't Vine causing their long videos to be poo poo, it was the 6 second limitation forcing them to produce better videos. Too bad it wasn't sustainable.

Vine had fewer hidden motivations than pure entertainment than TikTok does, part of the reason why it wasn't financially successful IMO

less diluted product is more effective, generally

Vine didn't last long enough for the "set up a joke in 5 seconds and execute punchline in the 6th second" format to get old, but it would have. If Vine had lived on it also would have likely succumbed to changes to make it more like other apps and then eventual enshitification.

I've never looked at stand up comic tiktoks I can see where that could be good. I just refuse to use tiktok most of the time so maybe I'm missing some comedy gold

Can't post for 4 hours!
watched about five minutes of the video and i think it's cos you don't have time to figure out what's going on before it's happening and you've got zero context. surprise and confusion and nonsense in 6 seconds. you don't really have time to turn against it.

I never even sought a vine out until after it ended and this line lives in my brain forever for some reason.

Most compilations are pretty solid imo.
