Ali Zafar and Elon Musk discuss social media strategies over Twitter poll on Monday.
The new CEO and owner of Twitter on Monday released a poll asking if the video-sharing service Vine should make a comeback. The majority chose “yes.”
Bring back Vine?

Since Vine will likely have to compete with TikTok, which gained popularity after Vine’s extinction, American YouTuber Mr. Beast thought the notion amusing. Musk, though, was being tactically when he questioned how Vine could surpass TikTok.
If you did that and actually competed with tik tok that’d be hilarious

Ali Zafar, a singer from Pakistan, had some lofty goals. He enumerated them, wanting to rip apart the fabric of the typical likes and follows and wanting to go even further by building an entire virtual universe. “More generous rewards for content producers. Move past “likes” and “following.” Permit them to create their own digital online empires. a setting where people can innovate, learn, and prosper. Rooms, clubs. Like-minded individuals interacting, producing, selling, raising money, and sharing,” he added.
The great ideas that Pakistani vocalist Zafar had. He listed them, wanting to rip apart the fabric of the typical likes and follows and wanting to go even further by building an entire virtual universe. “Bigger incentives for content creators. Go beyond ‘likes’ and ‘followers’. Enable them to build their own on line digital empires. A world they can create, learn and earn from. Clubs. Rooms. Likeminded people connecting, creating, auctioning, selling, monetising, sharing,” he wrote.
What could we do to make it better than TikTok?

Another important thing. Change the algorithms. A person sitting in U.S should be able to come across content being made in Japan more easily and vice versa. Tweets and content should have a much higher reach and monetisation. Companies can pay for reach, individuals can’t.

‘Why is he replying to Ali Zafar’, another asked.
More than a few celebrities have said that they are taking a break from or leaving the platform altogether in the wake of its new ownership. Musk has said that he wants to promote free speech on the platform and consider the reinstatement of accounts that the company previously banned, because, for example, they were spreading false information or inciting violence.
Musk and Heard were romantically linked just after her 2016 split with actor Johnny Depp, and they went public the following year.
