I think in order to get into the Vine house, you had to sacrifice a lamb to Satan. No, I don't know what it was. I really don't. It was like... I think it was just if you were a big enough creator. By the way, you didn't have to do anything. It was just an apartment building. You could just move there. It wasn't like Treehouse, like what's the password?

It was like this was just an apartment complex where they all decided to move. So if you were a Viner and you decided to move there, you were around all these big Viners, but that didn't necessarily mean you filmed with them. I think they only wanted to film with each other because A, they all knew each other. B, they all had huge followings.

They could all mutually benefit from each other's followings. And they were in close proximity. That's why they all were in that building. But I don't think there was like an initiation to get in. Like, you know, I mean, other than a security deposit.

So yeah, big Viners started to do Revine for Revine, which was essentially they would just hit each other up and be like, yo, you Revine this Vine of mine and I'll Revine this Vine.

Yeah, I mean, it would kind of cannibalize the popular page or whatever it is because you got twice the audience from doing that. I think that was wrong. But I do know that eventually everyone started to do it. Even the smaller creators started to do it because it was like, well, what else could you do? I mean, everyone's doing it. So, I mean, I think it was really taboo at some point.

And I did it. I mean, I did it. I tried to do it only with people that I really liked and people that I thought were actually very funny, so I would want to rebind them. But I started to do it because everyone was doing it, including the smaller creators.

A lot of times these big finers would literally steal ideas, like they would completely ignore you or be like, no, it wasn't too bad. That's the name of the game.
