Learning from Twitter’s Chaos for Divines Comeback!

July 16, 2026 · 33 min

Show notes

The tables have turned! In this episode, CEO of VidCon Jim Louderback asks Rabble about his time as Twitter’s first employee, the chaotic rise of social media, and what the future of a decentralized social media world can look like.

Rabble talks about what he learned and how he's using those learnings to revive Vine in a way where creators keep ownership of their content, their audience, and their income. He talks about Twitter's early days, why podcasting never fell into the same trap as the rest of internet media, and what Divine is doing to give creators the control they lost.
