Like a phoenix from the ashes, Vine has risen once more.
. Since its premature shuttering in 2017, social media has mourned the loss of the video-sharing app, repeatedly canonising it through compilations of its deeply absurd but often surprisingly wholesome content, and desperately calling for its resurrection.Vine’s rebirth takes the form of a new app, called Byte. After much anticipation and several rounds of beta-testing, Byte was finally launched on January 25 -- the creation of former Vine CEO Dom Hofmann.
One user took to TikTok -- a noted rival of Vine -- to assess the damage: “There are a lot of problems. You can’t pause a video, like the comments just pop up” Ian explains, “You also can’t use any sounds, and it’s also kind of impossible to navigate right now.” However, the platform’s biggest challenge at present is its spam bots, which have effectively taken over comment sections on the app. InHofmann says that tackling this is their “top priority”, going on to hint about some Instagram-esque developments to Byte in the future. “In the medium term, we’ll be making more dramatic changes to comments,” he wrote, “including a) the ability to like comments, and b) the abilities to block/filter/limit commenting.
