Before there was TikTok, there was Vine.
Launched in June 2012 by Rus Yusupov, Dom Hofmann and Colin Kroll, Vine was one of the first social media apps to make the short form video both mainstream and accessible.
A novelty at the time of its release, the platform made it possible for people to create, watch and share six-second clips that were played on loop. It became such a hit that it was quickly acquired by Twitter in October 2012 for $30 million.
For a short time, Vine appeared to be unrivaled and ubiquitous. In its prime, the app inspired users to get more creative and make their videos more complex, pushing the envelope of what could capture our attention best within as little time and space as possible.
Whether it was a clip of a potato that flew around a room or a 3-year-old child who loved — perhaps a little too much — getting an avocado for his birthday, these videos made us scream, laugh and cry — sometimes all at once.
Around 2014, a number of early ex-Vine stars moved into a Los Angeles apartment complex to increase their follower count. The building was located on a street that shared the same name, most appropriately, with the video app that would launch their careers: Vine.
Like many Vine stars, Christine Sydelko moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a YouTube creator after finding success on the app. During her YouTube stint with then-comedy partner Elijah Daniel, Sydelko amassed 1.3 million subscribers. In 2018, the pair announced their split as collaborators, and a year later, Sydelko announced that she was le...

Since first posting on the app as a college student, the now-25-year-old came out as tr...
Drew Gooden's famous Vines continue to thrive today, even without the platform. His “Road Work Ahead” Vine is considered one of the most viral Vines ever made. Today he's a full-time YouTuber with a commentary channel on pop culture.
Nicholas Fraser was catapulted into the national spotlight in August 2015 after releasing his “Why You Always Lying?” Vine sung to the tune of R&B band Next’s 1997 single, “Too Close.” The 27-year-old content creator has since gone on to produce music and a YouTube cooking show — and even sold his classic Vine (and meme) as an NFT.
Danny Gonzalez's most famous Vine doesn't even feature his face. Instead, it's a six-second clip of shoes edited on to dinosaurs from “Jurassic Park.” But his career on Vine also launched a full-time YouTube career, where he comments on internet and pop culture.
