Vine always sucked in my experience--half the time videos don't play for no apparent reason. so you're stuck with a "Check out this awesome play!" link that just shows a preview pic.
Same experience for me. They also had a brutal mobile web experience, erring on the egregious side of trying to force an app download onto your device.
This is a nice opportunity for someone like Streamable if they decide to move towards a follower/account-oriented experience.
Same.
Of the Vines I have clicked I would guess that maybe 40% of them actually ended up playing with sound.
That's a good example. Fails to play in Chrome, fails to play in Firefox. But in Firefox if I click the "V" in the upper right, it opens in a new window where it plays okay--in Chrome it opens in a new window but still fails to play.
Screw them.
Screw them.
That plays fine for me in Chrome. I acknowledge that Vines tend to be wonky but I do enjoy them when they work.
There were some really creative people making short-form content using Vine. Creative people will always find a way to show off their content, but Vine was really convenient in putting it all in one place. A little sad, but I'm sure something better will replace it.
Anyone know how to download Vine videos to a Mac or an iOS device? My wife has a Vine account, and she has some irreplaceable videos (one of David Ortiz's GS in the 2013 ALCS, but more importantly videos of our daughter) that, naturally, we don't want to lose when Vine shuts down.
I would have thought this was an incredibly simple thing to do, but evidently it isn't.
