Leave it to America to have an app that works just great (Vine), destroy it, let China copy it, and buy it back.

From what I know: Jack Dorsey closed down Vine. It wasn't destroyed by any country. Bytedance bought Musical.ly(Chinese App) and merged it with Tiktok. I have never used either but I from what I can see is Tiktok is an evolution of Vine but not a copy. Vine was probably just too early.

I’m not an expert in TikTok by any means but the videos I’ve seen are quite different to the ones I used to see on Vine.

America destroyed Vine? That’s quite the zoomed out view

I wonder how this looks like in a planetary context
