VINE and Imagine: Thoughts on Future Development

VINE, as an internet cultural symbol, has always carried people's expectations for the reboot of the short video platform Vine. Although the recent Grok Imagine feature has garnered a lot of attention, it does not mean that VINE will be replaced.

Grok Imagine is actually a video conversion feature module of the Grok AI system, similar to Grok as an AI component of a certain social platform. The frequent mention of Grok Imagine is more to showcase the advancements in AI technology rather than to replace VINE.

"Restarting Vine" is not just a slogan; it represents the internet memories and emotional value of a generation. The significance of this cultural symbol is difficult to simply replace. From a certain perspective, restarting Vine in the form of AI may be the ultimate goal, and Grok Imagine is a technical demonstration in the process of achieving this goal.

The core of the Vine platform lies in 6-second short videos. If Grok Imagine can achieve real-time conversion of images into 6-second videos, it will become a significant selling point for Vine after its relaunch. In the future, there may be a coexistence model where Imagine serves as a creation tool and Vine acts as a social distribution platform.

The market's expectations for VINE mainly stem from whether Vine will truly restart and the roles of the relevant personnel on social platforms. However, it is important to note that VINE still primarily carries cultural and emotional value at this time. Unless the relevant companies explicitly state that they will provide substantial support for the restarted Vine and its token VINE, there are speculative risks associated with the expected valuation growth and sentiment expectations in the market.

In the MEME market, high volatility is a common phenomenon. Investors should fully recognize the associated risks and act with caution when making decisions.
