Will this be like Vine > Tiktok all over again?

I used to follow Brian Goulet of fountain pen fame on Periscope. I think either he stopped streaming or I stopped watching when Twitter bought Periscope and stopped letting people easily record their streams by sending them to a recording service.

Since then, I've not heard one mention of Periscope in my local circles, which is only anecdotes, but my point is that there is definitely room for a startup to redo the same app idea.

For me, Byte replaced Vine since iirc some of the Vine founders were involved with Byte's startup. Byte ByteDance

why not use the Periscope brand as their Stories feature? Instead they use something new called Fleets?

It’s a commodity feature that now even Youtube has so I don’t think there’s much to leverage a brand into.

Kind of like how I’ve never seen someone call Periscope by name as people just say they’ll be streaming on Twitter.

Similarly I doubt I’ll ever see someone use Fleet to refer to a Twitter Story.
