Periscope was one the main reasons they killed Vine.

Funny that Vine was essentially TikTok and they killed it.

TL;DR: The world wasn't ready to monetize and mass-produce short clips at Vine's time.

That makes no sense to me, they're completely different products. (Periscope is about livestreaming vine was short clips.)

Beykpour convinced the board live video was the future. Vine founder left so no one was around to defend Vine.
