Once upon a time, Vine was the annoying social media tool of choice for people to share short-form video clips of jokes, memes, funny scenarios, magic tricks, visual illusions, or whatever viral nonsense was popular at the time. Then, Vine went away and everyone pretty much started using Snapchat and Instagram’s video feature.
But then people go tired of that for whatever reason, and a new widespread social phenomenon began, TikTok.
Sure, there are several memes about how lame TikTok is and how it stinks and how annoying a lot of folks on the platform are, but the same can be said of throngs of Twitter users who stan terrible music acts, or Instagram “influencers” who attack pseudo-philosophical ramblings with pictures of their asses and abs.
