Vine was a video hosting platform where users could create six-second-long looping video clips. Vine also enabled users to share their clips through other social media platforms such as Facebook or Twitter. The app was launched in 2012 and soon became the most used video sharing app. Nevertheless, the app was discontinued by parent company, Twitter, in 2016.
