Instagram has more everyday users. Think about me, the average dude. I have 100 followers on Instagram, most of whom are from high school/college. I have zero followers on Vine. Unless I dedicate my life to making funny Vines, I probably won't get any followers. Whoa, now Instagram has pushed a video feature, great! Now I can share "vines" with my 100 followers. No need to download Vine after all.

Not to mention a lot of the funny vines get posted onto a youtube compilation anyways, so in the end youtube is profiting from vine's success. Vine's business model was just doomed to fail.
