I do think it was as magical as people look back because it was everybody's first experience into this portal world where people are being funny and creative. So we were all in it together, experiencing it for the first time. I look back on it so fondly.

I think I kind of shut myself off to the numbers of following really early on. I just wanted to have fun and enjoy myself. Kristen Stewart, I love you and I think you're beautiful. So are you. I'm over here. But it's definitely given me a sense of value. You know, I try not to tie my self-worth to the amount of followers I have.

um but i think we're creative beings and as long as we're doing something that is what matters most the followers and the views are like the icing on the cake for me the only reason why i'm doing this because if you're coming on i'll talk about social media it's like oh i've done it before i've done it in the past but it's because it's about vine i've hit the next door neighbor's dog it's in the boot of my car

Although I knew and I'd met up with a lot of those Viners, that wasn't my, you know, we called ourselves like the indie group. Even though we weren't indie, like we still all had millions of followers, we weren't quite at the tens of twenties of millions of followers. And so we were continuing, my group was continuing to make content and enjoy the app and have fun.

But we weren't aware that these conversations were happening. And so it would have been nice to kind of know about it so that I could take my 3 million followers and be like, hey, follow me on YouTube and Instagram and like, let's keep this thing going. It was kind of abrupt and weird. And like, why are they doing this? This seems a bit entitled. I remember thinking... Sure.

Yeah, I guess we should be getting paid. But also remember, before this app existed, you weren't doing anything. So like, where's the gratitude? Of course, we should be compensated for our efforts. You know, if we weren't creating, then people wouldn't care about the app and the app would have just not. really done well. I always see both sides. I'm a Libra, so I see both sides.

Like, I'm just grateful that this app exists, so I'm going to give it what it's given me. And so to think that, you know, 20 people were like, we want this amount of money, and if we're not paying this, then we are leaving. It's like... Could you have demanded less money, maybe? I don't know. Like, can you ask for, like, a hundred grand each?

Like, why are you all each asking for a million dollars? Like, calm down. Half of those people didn't realize what they were doing. They're not on Vine anymore and they're not making any money. So, like, I don't even think that all 20 of those people were thinking, oh, what could happen if this app goes away?

I think they were just, like, their ego got so inflated and then they just assumed that they'd be taken care of with these other apps. And they lost... so many followers, and they're not as successful as they were on Vine.
