On Thursday, social media suffered a slight blow as Twitter announced that its video-sharing app, Vine, would be discontinued. In a statement on Medium, the platform shared the following message: “Nothing is happening to the apps, website or your Vines today. We value you, your Vines, and are going to do this the right way. You’ll be able to access and download your Vines. We’ll be keeping the website online because we think it’s important to still be able to watch all the incredible Vines that have been made. You will be notified before we make any changes to the app or website.” 



As an app that has launched the careers of many while creating one-liners that will forever live in infamy, Vine truly left an indelible mark on our feeds and in our hearts. To celebrate the life and times of our fallen video-sharing service, we compiled a few of our favorites to evoke laughs, tears and all of the feels.
