Is that in the movie? This is the image I have in my mind but I forgot that she hit her head. I think that's not the case in the comics IIRC. Instead it's unclear whether her neck was already snapped before she fell, or the late web catch caused the snap.

Replying again to say: that actually makes sense. You should have said that upfront! Suddenly being locked out of critical software is definitely a risk worth considering

It wasn't about video length, it was about the Twitter leadership at that time being categorically incapable of monetizing any of their products.

Combine that with the orders-of-magnitude higher cost of running Vine compared to the bird, and it was always either going to be sold off or shut down.

It's easy to forget that this was back in the time when these companies thought they were changing the planet for the better and drinking their own Kool aid by the gallon.

Which is also exactly how Signal works too; I migrated both two days ago. Process was virtually identical.

I much prefer Signal, but can't judge WhatsApp to harshly on this tbh.

Mark Zuckerberg needs to tread carefully or he might have to spend another afternoon answering the nonsensical questions of a bunch of geriatric luddites.
