I always thought the main Vine user base was mobile users. That's the only place I've ever used it - which isn't much tbh.

Ironic how everything you create these days has to mobile ready huh? Then here's a company dumping a pretty popular app which is used mainly by a younger demographic who lives by their phones and social media?

I don't see this as a good move - and if its being done to cut costs, it's still not a good move.

Yup, it's business suicide. Probably people too inexperienced to handle success or have a clue where to go from where they're at. So they throw up their hands, shutdown servers, let people down and miss their shot. It's sad, like watching a train wreck.
