I know, yes, a ton of people who think memes die as soon as people other than the original creators pass it around thrive here, but I will (in my more tolerant being) say this: Aw man. :cry:
In the days before the announcement, even I was expecting that Vine would just go by the wayside soon, it wasn't as huge and thriving as Snapchat and Twitter (videos) currently are. Of course, hilarious videos were still lurking on Twitter from the service often, however they were mostly one-offs and not hits/hit Viners such as in the past. Just... it was fading and falling from prominence.
I loved how creative and hilarious some Vines laying about were, the 6-second format captured things all well. There were just too many too name, for now.
As for the memes, some were good (in my mind), fit with everything in clever ways, and as of now, bring back memories of the time. I didn't mind some Hotline Bling parodies, rap dances, and other comedy trends.
And plus... for those of you who actually made videos (I assume only approximately ~1 person here), where will the ability to pause recording and pick up again all in the same video happen now (unless you edited it)?
Hopefully, things will stay how they are longer and they won't go down too soon.
