Evan Henshaw-Plath, known as Rabble, stated that 'people look back' at the era of social media before it became overwhelmingly large. He noted that nostalgia is a significant factor in the revival of these platforms.
As TechCrunch reports, the rebooted platform, dubbed diVine, will include over 100,000 archived videos from the platform, likely only a small fraction of the platform's original database. Vine had over 200 million active monthly users in its heyday ten years ago, but was shut down in 2016. But the reboot has a hidden ace up its sleeve: AI-generated content is banned outright, and any suspected use of AI will be flagged and prevented from being posted - a panacea for an internet that's been overrun with lazy AI slop.
