Vine is entirely different form of Ā media platform and therefore has a different pay out for advertisements and endorsements. Because Vine videos don’t support embedded advertisements Viners sell merchandise through a secondary site which markets their video content memorabilia. To keep things fresh and current with advertising companies Viners establish their own advertisement contracts for product placement/shout outs in their videos.
