Why Vine feels WORSE.. and it actually is....

Besides everyone talking about bots... here the MAIN issue is another one:

Drops were random, and have been random for a long time... that also meant 1) only the die-hards were constantly refreshing, 2) competition was spread out.. and therefore you atutomatically had more chances of "getting lucky"... things were staying in your RFY even for hours sometimes.

Now drops have been pretty consistent, ALWAYS at the same time for days. And that means:

Even casual members have become active. People set alarms... Now that drops are happening at predictable times, everyone logs in at once, at the same time. The whole Vine Community is there online just like you, hunting like you, at the same time as you. Thousands of people are refreshing at the same second... this is crazy.

And that is why you see amazing things (even in your RFY) disappear in the blink of an eye.

And while I DO love knowing when the drops start, the competition now is beyond imaginable... and I must say it sucks a little... but I guess I should not complain. After all I still get to grab some nice things now and then... for "free"...
