A+ for the idea. 01000110 for execution.

Fun! Wish I had spent a bit more time trying to find all of the clues before looking at the spoilers. Nothing too tricky, just requires keen observation skills.

So the mystery is why he used Vine?

Maybe Vine Elevates Mysteries? Juries Seem Unnecessary Now. (sPoiler.)

This actually seems like a good fit for vine: the mystery fits neatly inside six seconds, and the video auto-repeats so you can watch it as many times as you want without having to do anything.

I could have watched it on a loop for the rest of my life and never figured it out but maybe I'm just slow. This is really fun and clever, cheers for the post.
