On the other hand, Vine gave us great comedic names like Drew Gooden, Danny Gonzales, Jay Versace, Christine Sydelko, and Gabriel Gundacker. While these creators were able to establish massive followings with their content, I think a large part of the appeal of Vine was that anyone could go viral at any moment with a video that required very minimal effort to produce. You didn’t need to know how to edit or color correct or tell a story. All you had to do was know how to work your phone. Hurricane Tortilla Kid, Adrian Michael, Kid Who Had His Ears Sticking Out Of His Hoodie While Whipping -- these creators were the true lifeblood of Vine. It was like having America’s Funniest Home Videos on your phone available at any time, and you didn’t have to listen to Bob Saget while watching. (I wrote this joke before he died. RIP.)
So yeah, it was pretty good. And occasionally great.
