In a short Medium post yesterday, Twitter announced it’s shutting down Vine.
Knowing that we have a practically limitless vault of funny videos online, the general internet didn’t take the news too hard. But one group who has a lot of feels in the wake of the news is the committed creators of the niche community: Vine stars.
Many have already said they’ll continue to create content (most likely on YouTube), but what they’re sharing overall is gratitude for the opportunities the app brought into their lives.
Here’s how some Vine stars reacted to the news:
