Digital Age
In our time it is already difficult to imagine a world without computers, the Internet and other related gadgets. All this is used not only for communication and entertainment, but also for work. The availability of digital devices is growing every year, and even the most hardened skeptics have appreciated how the Internet and similar technologies make life easier and help in work.
Of course, the number of virtual entertainment is also growing. Psychologists have long been puzzled by how much younger generations are tied to the Internet and everything that goes with it. And sometimes it ends quite sadly, for example, there are several cases when teenagers died trying to take a spectacular selfie.
Along with Instagram, Twitter and other similar services for sharing your photos or thoughts, such a thing as vines is now gaining popularity. So what are vines, and what is the secret of their popularity? We'll figure it out.
Definition
The word "vine" itself comes from the English Vine, which in turn is the name of the service forposting short videos and it was purchased by Twitter. Simply put, a vine is a kind of video tweet that people share. But, what is the reason for their popularity and what do they represent?
It's really simple. Like tweets, vines are limited in duration, and for example, you can’t upload long videos there, like on YouTube. Their meaning lies in the fact that a vine is a short video, usually from two to twenty seconds in length, of a humorous nature, in which something funny or funny happens, and is immediately understandable, unlike other long recordings.
As in the case of Instagram, which many people are hooked on, the heroes of the vines are most often the authors themselves, and the actions of such videos are staged. However, no one requires truthfulness from them, the main thing is that it be funny and funny. So now we know what vines are.
History
The funny videos that dazzle the Internet date back to the dawn of universal "computerization", when cheap mobile phones with video cameras became available. And since then, funny situations that were previously retold orally have become often mourned on camera. Before the opening of YouTube or wide access to the Internet, they were distributed from person to person and from phone to phone, but gradually this practice became superfluous, as many services appeared on the network where you can post your video and watch it for a huge number of people.
But over time, interest in them has cooled somewhat, sinceamong really something funny or interesting, a lot of frankly stupid or inappropriate videos began to come across, and people don’t like to watch long videos in anticipation of the denouement. The same thing can be observed on the example of the same Twitter - now, due to the abundance of unnecessary information on the Internet, brevity is in fashion, and people want to immediately understand the essence. So now we know what vines are.
YouTube
After the unlimited Internet became available to almost everyone, the number of people who have fun creating their own video shows, reviews of some products, software, games, and so on has increased dramatically. This is also facilitated by the availability and simplicity of programs for editing, video cameras and other things. And some even started making good money from it when YouTube created an affiliate program by inserting ads in videos, so the more people watch your video, the more profit you get. Therefore, a kind of “war” is going on for subscribers and the audience.” So what are vines on YouTube?
These are the same short funny clips lasting rarely more than ten seconds. They show and touch on various situations, both life, familiar to everyone, and frankly absurd, but still funny. The most popular Russian winer on YouTube is Pavel Mikus, on his channel you can find a wide variety of videos that he shoots personally and almost always with himself in the lead role. They are very popular, like vine videos. What it is,we analyzed in this article.
Conclusion
Every year the Internet gives people more and more space for creativity, new directions, trends and just fun projects appear. It also contributes to the fact that sometimes you can make good money on them. A vivid example of this is the numerous streamers who simply broadcast the process of their game on a computer or other activity. And of course, they do it in an interesting way, and this is what attracts people to, it would seem, such an ordinary activity. The most popular of them collect quite impressive amounts in one broadcast.
Vine is a very popular video format now, but who knows what will be in demand in a few years. It is also a special service, which became the ancestor of such videos. There are applications for working with it for all popular mobile operating systems.
