Vine isn’t growing and most of its top executives have left

I don't think that's true. Twitter has stuck to the original 140 character format...true. Honestly I think they should stick to that. The reason why Twitter has took a turn over the years is because of their treatment of developers and their murdering of top apps instead of letting them flourish. Look at TweetDeck, it hasn't improved in years, and you could argue it has gotten much worse. They dropped the Windows client support for one.

Their services didn't change much, but their philosophy changed drastically.

Then you have them temp banning people for political speech (and I'm not talking about harassment here, which is different.)

As for Vine, that is one that they should have evolved. Vine could have easily been more like SnapChat is now, but instead Jack and company sat on their thumbs.

Twitter is a remarkable case of mismanagement. I think in about 5 years hopefully someone write a book about how Twitter has constantly shot itself in the foot.

Oh how I wish this was true but sadly this is usually never the case. If it was Facebook would be long dead by now.
