Vine is entirely different form of 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. A Vine user will place a price on mentioning, using or explicitly advertising a product in their videos and if the company agrees they’ll do business.
