“Today we’re bringing back 6-second looping videos and a new community for people who love them. It’s called Byte and it’s both familiar and new. We hope it’ll resonate with people who feel something’s been missing.” Like Vine, users upload videos from their camera roll or use the Byte camera to capture content and put “creativity first.” However, this time around, Byte has a few changes. Firstly, it is taking better care of the creators on the platform. In the past, Vine creators didn’t feel like they were supported on the platform so they abandoned the platform for others on which they could monetise their content. Byte is rolling out a pilot version of a partner program, which will be used to pay creators and be a place to connect around creator-specific topics. Those on the program will be able to interact with and get feedback from other creators, have early access to certain features, and have a say in what new features should launch and how issues should be dealt with. “Byte celebrates creativity and community, and compensating creators is one important way we can support both,” the company Tweeted. Currently, there isn’t a public follower count but they may add an option to show it on profiles in the future. Users can view their stats from their profile menu.
