Regarding whether VINE will be replaced with “Imagine”, let me talk about some logic:
1) VINE is a MEME from beginning to end, which carries the market’s expectations for whether the Vine short video platform that was originally turned off can be successfully restarted. Therefore, VINE will always exist until either Musk and Rus (founder of VINE) have clearly stated that they will give up Vine’s restart plan;
2) Grok Imagine’s recent high-frequency push and mention by Elon does not mean that Imagine will replace VINE. Instantly, Elon said that Grok Imagine is an AI Vine, because Imagine is a product branch function, just like Grok is an AI module of X. Imagine is just a feature of Grok’s image to video. Elon’s high-profile promotion of Grok Imagine is just to highlight Grok’s AI enhancement capabilities, which does not mean that Imagine is used to rename Vine. At least Lao Ma has not made a “clear” statement;
3) “Bring back Vine” is not only a slogan, but also contains complex factors such as culture, emotions, brands, IP, etc., which means that Vine is a cultural symbol with special significance, carrying the Internet memory of a generation, and this emotional value is difficult to replace.In this context, it seems that Elon said that restarting Vine in the form of AI is to restart Vine. Grok imagine is just a demonstration of core product capabilities before achieving this ultimate goal.In other words, if you don’t have the idea of restarting Vine, you don’t need to mention Vine. Isn’t the goal of using AI also restarting?
4) The reason why Grok Imagine has always been emphasized is that it is AI Vine, just to express that Vine will “accelerate” the return in the form of AI empowerment.Don’t forget that the core of Vine short video platform is 6s video. If Imagine can directly convert the image into 6s short videos with real-time rendering capabilities as Elon said, this will definitely be the core selling point after Vine restarts. It is highly likely that Imagine is a creative tool and Vine coexist as a social distribution platform. The “both” reply given by Rus can also be evidence of this;
5) The market’s expectations for VINE have always come from whether Vine will be really restarted, whether Rus can hold an important position in X, especially Vine’s logo is integrated and displayed on X’s content interface, and even whether VINE will be circulated in Vine as a reward currency, etc.But please be sure to note that as of now, MEME can only carry a cultural and emotional belonging. Unless X, as a business entity, clearly states that he will empower the restarted Vine and the corresponding token VINE, there will be speculative risks in the market’s expected valuation, price growth and sentiment expectations;
Note: The MEME market is relatively volatile. Please pay attention to risks when investing and trading. The above analysis is for reference only. Will it be too fun to cooperate with the following short video?
