/in /by

The years most famous meme, you know the one with the disapproving girlfriend scoulding her boyfriend for checking out another woman. No one is more suprised that it’s been memefied so to speak than the photographer that took it. Antonio Guillem a 45 year old photographer from Barcelona.

He usually takes stock photos and most of his porfolio consists of exaclty what we see in the meme, a man and two women in a situation that provokes a reacitve pose in one of the models.

Speaking to Wired.com Guillem said that he wanted to step away from what he usually does and produce some imagery that represents ‘infidelity concept in relationships in a fun and playful way”

Thus the years most famous meme was born! “Disloyal man walking with his girlfriend and looking amazed at another seductive girl” became to be famous for the reason that not what it was intended for but we all love it anyway.

What was once the epicenter for the short viral video creators you know and love today (King Bach, DeStorm, Hannah Stocking, Page Kennedy) Vine (before they all went to Facebook) was loved by millions of millennials around the world, creating usually relatable video meme’s or short funny videos that became meme’s in their own right has died.

Granted a lot of the creators had jumped ship to Facebook/Snapchat/Instagram due to more monetary values and the alure of Vine became less and less and less and less creators used Vine and thus did their audience.

Only four years ago before the app had even launched Vine, a mobile and web platform where users could post videos of up to 6 seconds which was put on an endless loop was purchased by Twitter for £24Million. Despite users being locked into Vine/Twitter (There was no way for the clips to be embedded on another social platform) Vine celebrities were created with hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions of followers, with many earning a living with promoted and sponsored Vines.

There is not a date when the app will be closed by in a blog post from the creators on Vine’s blog site said that users will be “notified before we make any changes to the app or website”

However in a twist of events Pornhub VP Corey Price has offered to take Vine off of Twitter in an open letter:

“We figure since Twitter has dropped (Vine) and is having significant layoffs, that you and your stakeholders could benefit from a cash infusion from the sale of Vine. Not to mention we would be saving Vine gems like ‘Damn Daniel,’ ‘Awkward Puppets’ and many more.”

Not only that Pornhub wishes to “restore Vine to its NSFW glory…….six seconds is more than enough for most people to enjoy themselves.”
