> By December 2015, Vine had over 200 million active users.[1] On October 27, 2016, Twitter announced that it would disable all uploads, but that viewing and download would continue to work.
> The discontinuation of Vine came as many different competing platforms began to introduce their own equivalents to Vine's short-form video approach.
