The lord giveth, and the lord taketh away. There is no other way to say this: Vine is dead.
What the hell are we supposed to do now? Watch America’s Funniest Home Videos clips on YouTube? Tom Bergeron is a low-rent Tim Allen, and we all know what that man did. I don’t want that around my kids—Vine was the family-friendly platform that we all needed.
In the spirit of the 6-second video platform that really should not have worked but did, this introduction will be brief. The Strand is a student newspaper dedicated to high-stakes, Woodward-and-Bernstein muckraking journalism. But, we at The Strand know that sometimes, all we need is a video of someone obliterating a Krispy Kreme sign. So, here are a bunch of hilarious Vines, in no apparent order.
