Default The sad state of vine

and so it seems, that porn (or any kind of nudity) on vine is now a thing of the past.

There was loads of links to accounts that produced new content on a daily basis, tags such as

#peevines, #playwithme, #ineedcock, #vineafterdark

and many others, all seemingly disappeared overnight in what seems like an absolutely massive purge.

This is not just a case of "keeping on top of accounts we don't like", most of the content producers running these accounts, and the re-vine accounts allowing folks to find them, became quite good at avoiding the "Vine Police" radar, and when one got taken down, another would open up and pick up the slack.

However, it seems like what Vine have now done, is spent a period of time collecting usernames and I.P addresses of infringers, then deleting them all, all in one hit so that there's no one around to back anyone up.

I tended to use "incognito mode" when viewing them, so I've got next to nothing cached in my browser histories, I may have one or two floating around which when I find them, will happily upload them to here, but it would seem that most if not all of the links in this thread, if not already dead, very soon will be.

Most of the vine aggregators fail now too, as they simply used to just use direct access on the Vine API to display the videos, and many did not bother creating or collecting their own versions.

Further investigating shows that "Twitter" (the owners of vine) are also preparing a full on assualt to remove "unwanted content" from twitter itself too, which I suspect will be a much harder job for them, but proves thier out to censor folks activities on the network.

I would therefore advise anyone who has any interesting vine and/or twitter content to make a copy of it as soon as you find it, for vine there is a chrome plugin called "Vineagram" that makes downloading videos from the service as simple as a single click, if we don't start to save content, much of it is destined to be lost forever.
