Have Teenagers Taken Over Vine?

The staff of BuzzFeed FWD recently conducted an unscientific study to assess what’s changed about Vine since its launch in January.

Their finding? The teens have taken over, turning Vine into “Snapchat in public.”

Using VinePeek, which streams new Vines as they’re posted, the team found that, after watching 152 Vines and taking note of each six-second-video’s apparent user age, the content broke down as follows:

– 103 teens
– 24 non-teens
– 25 unidentifiable ages

That comes down to more than 80% teenage content on Vine.

I decided to conduct my own, smaller-scale version of BuzzFeed’s experiment just to gauge whether or not I had the same impression.
