but what about all the vine stars? What will they livelihood become?
Is that actually a thing?

"Don't sell your company!" - Founder of Vine
However he exited at $30 million. Is his sentiment born out of a sense of nostalgia?
Surely he is in a better position to create something than he was when he created Vine?

No, I'm talking about Vine. They use Flask, and if they are not going to use the codebase any longer... Personally I like having a big codebase as an architectural reference when I'm trying to learn a new framework. The Patreon source code (Flask too) is public, by the way.
it is ? can you provide a link. it was hacked right ?
Instagram (Facebook) ate it. Would be nice, by the way, if they could release the source code. Having such an example of a Flask app would be very useful for the community.
It wouldn't be that good of a reference. Full disclosure: I led the backend team at Vine a while back. Vine didn't use a lot of Flask. The main piece that was used was routing (i.e. @app.route). Everything else was custom. Even flask.g was replaced with something that can propagate context properly across greenlets (the method of concurrency we chose), without a lot of overhead. If you're curious, that piece eventual…

I don't understand (because I have never been in that position). And the TV show Silicon Valley also promoted this logic. However he exited at $30 million. Is his sentiment born out of a sense of nostalgia? Surely he is in a better position to create something than he was when he created Vine?
I had bought some Twitter stock earlier this year, and immediately sold it when the buyout rumors started because I knew it wouldn't get a bid higher than that with Jack at the helm. It is dismal that they walked into meetings with Google, Salesforce, Disney, etc and they turned up their nose. Truly telling. I've been a very harsh critic of Twitter's leadership, especially Jack Dorsey for a while now. Think of this s…

That is the last possible thing we'd want. We already have contract law that covers the case where a customer has paid a provider to provide a service and the service provider stops without delivering. But, in the case of a free service, where there are no commitments, service providers should be free to stop providing services whenever they want.
So you think it should be legal for Facebook to decide to shut down, for example? Why does what the investors want matter more than what the users want?
I guess there could be a government bailout as what happened with General Motors in 2008. That would mean a Chapter 11 scenario at least, and wouldn't help in the situation where Facebook isn't bankrupt but simply wants to focus on something else.

They could sell one-second blipverts, offering the option of two seconds to advertisers with a history of positive engagement.
That's probably a very grey area heading towards subliminal advertising (at least, some lawyer somewhere could claim so). I'm not sure on the legal status of that sort of thing.
