Serving for the same purpose, TikTok is essentially a replacement for the Vine app because it features the same short-form viral video content. But because the technology has evolved since the first launch of Vine, TikTok can be considered an improved version, because it offers more interesting features, and also a longer video length limit.
In Vine, it was relatively easy to become popular, especially if you shared funny and attractive short videos. There were a lot of popular Vine content creators who were known around the world, but only some of them decided to make the switch to TikTok.
Let’s see which popular Viners managed to keep the same creativity alive and ready for the new TikTok users.
- Liza Koshy (@lizzza)
Everyone must remember Liza and her iconic videos that were full of funny stories and humor. Liza focused on creating content that was relatable to users, an idea that made Liza Koshy viral on Vine.
When TikTok became available internationally, Liza transitioned to his new social media platform and has successfully built her fan base quickly. Basically, TikTok was, at least in the first place, a platform for sharing funny short-form video content, so Liza was a great content creator for TikTok.
Now she has more than 30 million followers on TikTok.
- Zach King (@zachking)
Another great name in the online video content creation community is Zach King, who was a very popular Viner. Initially, he became popular based on his videos that featured captivating illusions, and overall, a great creativity that managed to attract a lot of active fans.
Now, he is a very popular TikTok content creator too, with more than 80 million followers on the TikTok social media platform.
- Lele Pons (@lelepons)
Lele Pons became popular right before the Vine shutdown in 2017. Thanks to her funny short videos that featured weird facial expressions, she quickly became a Viner with a lot of followers. Maybe the most followed female content creator on Vine.
She didn’t immediately transition to TikTok, but chose to continue her content creation career on YouTube and Instagram, eventually opening an account on this new social media platform. First, she continued to share her iconic video topics on TikTok, but later, she changed the topic to more casual videos. She currently has 33 million followers on TikTok.
- King Bach (@kingbach)
King Batch was a great Vine content creator, especially based on his ability to find a little sense of humor in every situation, even if it was a bad one. This way, he managed to draw more attention, because users found his short videos relatable. Even if he has fewer followers compared with other popular Viners, he still managed to have a great fan base of 28 million followers.
- Amanda Cerny (@amandacerny)
Amanda was a great Viner because she focused on sharing comedic sketches with Vine app users. Quickly, she attracted a lot of followers and created a huge fan base, who were passionate about her funny sketches.
Now on TikTok, she is famous for different collaborations with other famous TikTokers, including King Bach, who participates in her sketches, making a great TikTok team. She currently has 10 million followers, and her main topics for short-form videos are comedy and lifestyle-related content.
- Hannah Stocking (@hannhahstocking)
Hannah has quickly made her way on Vine based on her goofy yet relatable short videos. She became popular on the Vine app around the same time as Lele Pons, making videos together as a duo. As Lele Pons, she was focused on sharing funny videos for users who find them relatable to their everyday lives.
After Vine disappeared from the social media radar, she transitioned to YouTube, where she is also popular, and later found her way back to short-form video content on TikTok.
Now, she has almost 30 million followers and still collaborates with her friend Lele Pons for funny and attractive video content.
- Anwar Jibawi (@anwar)
Another iconic Viner was Anwar, who had a lot of followers on this short-form social media platform. He essentially was focused on creating videos with situational humor, which were, at the same time, funny and attractive to users. It’s true that back then, popular Viners were making similar videos because the length limit was strict, but only some of the content creators became noticeable based on their creativity.
Now Anwar has almost 20 million TikTok followers, and still continues to make Vine-like videos, which seems to work for the TikTok audience.
- David Dobrik (@daviddobrik)
David Dobrik started his career on Vine in 2013 and slowly gained popularity thanks to his comedic pranks, which were meant to be funny and attractive for users. His videos were appreciated by a lot of Vine app users, and he quickly started to collaborate with other popular Viners such as Liza Koshy to take his ideas further.
He didn’t immediately transition to TikTok after Vine closed down in 2017, but he continued on YouTube, and many Viners from this list did, too. Now, he has about 25 million followers, and continues to make the same videos that made him popular on Vine. Probably, TikTok users still have the Vine DNA somewhere hidden, which makes them attracted to this type of content.
- Logan Paul (@loganpaul)
We end this series with an iconic duo, Logan and Jake Paul, who were probably the most well-known brothers on Vine. They gained a lot of popularity and followers based on their skits, which were sometimes extreme. The extreme ingredient was probably the one that made them popular, and users were so attracted to their content.
Now he has almost 20 million followers on TikTok, attracting fans based on his new boxing career and his boxing-related content.
- Jake Paul (@jakepaul)
The younger brother of Logan Paul, Jake, managed to become popular based on the collaboration with his older brother in different challenges and interesting video content.
If we compare the two Paul brothers, they had a similar social media path, because they also built a career on YouTube before TikTok.
Now Jake Paul has almost 20 million followers, the same as his brother, based on interesting and sometimes extreme videos that seem to be attractive to the TikTok audience.
