Why did Vine shut down? Does TikTok have the same risk?

👋 Hey Failories! It's Nico over here.

Yesterday we published two completely re-written articles, which dive deep into the failures of two well-known social networks: Vine and Yik Yak.

Particularly Vine has been in the public eye during the last months, due to the huge growth experienced by Tik Tok, with whom it shares many similarities, and Donald Trump's recent announcement on banning it in the US. In the post, we also talk about the future of TikTok, so it is worth checking it out even if you're not interested in Vine's shut down.
