Twitter announced last Thursday that it is shutting down Vine, the popular video-making app.
The app allowed users to create six-second looping videos.
The decision comes as part of Twitter’s efforts to reduce costs, in addition to cutting nine per cent of its workforce.
Canadian Vine star JusReign, who has one billion loops on his account, said on Twitter:
vine was the platform that allowed me to build and grow an audience outside of just south asians: wouldn't be where i am without it truly.

Users are no longer able to create content but are still able to access and download their videos.
