Drywall seam
The ceiling seam has been getting worse I taped it with paper tape and finished again however, over time it has looked like it split again. I screwed the seam too where it split before retaping and finishing but over time it has began to sag again. Rip down and redue? Glue and screw the seams? Anytips? Thanks!

You need to find and address the cause of the problem. One would think rescrewing the drywall would have fixed it
are the framing members you screwed to solid and secure?
If the framing is solid and the drywall secure - the problem must be with the finishing, maybe not enough mud under the tape to secure the tape well.

About 3 months? I finshed my basement a while back (2 years ago) and I was also wondering if that has anything to do with it too. I plan on updating my kitchen in the near future so I am prob going tear out all the old drywall and put new up anyway. Just kinda wondering what it would have cracked. Thanks for all the advice!
