Those Vine Compliations Aren't All Fun And Games

Have you ever wondered how much work went into those?

Since the death of Vine, there have been copious compilation videos. At first, they were just compilations of funny Vines that were made available so their comedy didn't disappear with the app. It was done as a necessity in a way.

But then the compilations turned into their own memes. Now there are Vine compilations these ridiculous titles, and they're all incredibly specific.

We have Vines for 3 A.M., Vines for breakfast, Vines for when you disassociate; the titles are incredible. They serve an immediate hook because, honestly, I want to know what Vines I relate to during breakfast.

The best part about it is that nine times out of ten, I agree with the compilation. Every single Vine in there is what I feel like when I disassociate or butter my croissant. Like the specificity is incredible. It attracts viewers and it pays off.

Then you have these gossip accounts on YouTube, where they'll focus on the drama in the beauty guru community, for example. Every one of their videos is either explaining a long, complicated string of drama or making short edits of creators gossiping about other creators.

They're funny and informative, and the editing is usually intense and complicated. These creators, although they aren't quite YouTube celebrities, they are serving a purpose that viewers are eating up. Some of them do more work than these YouTube celebrities.

It doesn't stop here, though. Your parody videos.

Shane Dawson's "The Mind of Jake Paul" series generated a lot of discourse, and one of those forms of discourse was the parody videos. Some accounts make parodies taken directly from the series, while some take it a step further. Parody account JNJ Memes is currently working "The Mind of Kermit". JNJ Memes is taking a parody of one thing and altering to further parody something else.

It's such an overlay of references that I think people that consume this content forget how much work goes into it, especially when these accounts play with editing. They'll change or alter the audio, volume, and design.

So, whether you watch overly specific Vine compilations, gossip videos, or parody edits, as consumers we forget the amount of work that goes into these. While you smile and laugh at these videos and appreciate the mindless and easy content, don't forget to appreciate the work these creators poured into those videos.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
