There is a universe out there for every scenario if you’ve heard of the idea of parallel realities. Ali Zafar and Elon Musk are discussing social media tactics in one of those realities, but wait, it’s actually this one.
On Monday, the CEO and owner of Twitter released a poll asking if the video-sharing service Vine should make a comeback. The majority chose “yes.”
The prospect amused American YouTuber Mr. Beast because TikTok, which became popular after Vine’s collapse, would likely have to compete with Vine. Musk, though, was being tactical when he questioned how Vine could surpass TikTok.
Zafar, a singer from Pakistan, had some big ideas. He enumerated them, wanting to rip apart the fabric of the typical likes and follows and to go even further by building an entire virtual universe. “More generous rewards for content producers. Move past “likes” and “following.” Permit them to create their own digital online empires. a setting where people can innovate, learn, and prosper. Rooms, clubs. Like-minded individuals interacting, producing, selling, raising money, and sharing,” he added.
He added a suggestion for Twitter too, saying the algorithms need to change, content should be made more accessible across borders. “A person sitting in US should be able to come across content being made in Japan more easily and vice versa,” he said. The Tesla CEO agreed and said though Japan has many active content creators who have amazing content, it is not seen outside the country very much.
Bring back Vine?

What could we do to make it better than TikTok?

Another important thing. Change the algorithms. A person sitting in U.S should be able to come across content being made in Japan more easily and vice versa. Tweets and content should have a much higher reach and monetisation. Companies can pay for reach, individuals can’t.
