Inspired by both the nascent medium of streaming and a dream he had where he streamed the SNES video game Chrono Trigger, Vinny created an account on Livestream to stream the game, eventually learning aspects of streaming over time. Adopting the alias "Vinny Vinesauce" as his online pseudonym, Vinny later founded the Vinesauce website and recruited other streamers and content creators as members of the community.{{cite web|url=https://gamerant.com/vinny-vinesauce-misconduct-accusations-speaking-with-lawyer/|title=Twitch Streamer Vinny Vinesauce Speaking With Lawyer After Misconduct Accusations|first=Brittni|last=Finley|website=Game Rant|date=April 5, 2021|access-date=April 11, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210405190622/https://gamerant.com/vinny-vinesauce-misconduct-accusations-speaking-with-lawyer/|archive-date=April 5, 2021|url-status=live}} In recent years since the late 2010s, the group has gradually become independent as most of the members focus more on their individual content.

The stream had led Vinesauce's fan base to uncover clues about the mystery surrounding Fujiko's actions, with Alex Avard of GamesRadar+ asserting that "the events that followed were mythologized into one of the internet's best creepypasta stories."{{cite web|url=https://www.gamesradar.com/destiny-battlefield-and-the-unintentional-horror-of-revisiting-abandoned-multiplayer-games/|title=Destiny, Battlefield, and the strange, surreal horror of revisiting abandoned multiplayer games|first=Alex|last=Avard|website=GamesRadar+|date=January 25, 2018|access-date=April 12, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180130223200/https://www.gamesradar.com/destiny-battlefield-and-the-unintentional-horror-of-revisiting-abandoned-multiplayer-games/|archive-date=January 30, 2018|url-status=live}} In 2018, author Andrew Reinhard cited the Active Worlds videos as an example of archaeogaming in the book Archaeogaming: An Introduction to Archaeology in and of Video Games.{{cite book|last=Reinhard |first=Andrew |date= June 18, 2018 |title=Archaeogaming: An Introduction to Archaeology in and of Video Games|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XvY_DwAAQBAJ&dq=%22vinesauce%22&pg=PA158|publisher=Berghahn Books|page=158|isbn=9781785338748}}

In 2021, several of Vinesauce's videos were cited in a mystery about a farming game that never existed.{{cite web|url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkb3qn/the-5-year-mystery-of-the-evil-farming-game-has-been-solved|title=The 5-Year Mystery of the 'Evil Farming Game' Has Been Solved|first=Radhamely|last=De Leon|website=Vice|date=June 21, 2021|access-date=April 17, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210621143309/https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkb3qn/the-5-year-mystery-of-the-evil-farming-game-has-been-solved|archive-date=June 21, 2021|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://kotaku.com/mysterious-evil-farming-game-never-actually-existed-1847105889|title=Mysterious 'Evil Farming Game' Never Actually Existed|first=Ari|last=Notis|website=Kotaku|date=June 15, 2021|access-date=April 17, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210615220539/https://kotaku.com/mysterious-evil-farming-game-never-actually-existed-1847105889|archive-date=June 15, 2021|url-status=live}} The mystery came into existence when a Reddit user named "Sparta123" wrote a thread on r/tipofmyjoystick describing a farming game akin to Harvest Moon that they tried to recall, with the premise involving a man who manslaughters his wife and tries to hide the body while working as a farmer. Sparta123's post led the game rumor to spread to various social media communities, with users attempting to investigate the existence of the farming game. In a video essay, YouTuber Justin Whang revealed that the premise of the game originated from Vinesauce member Vargskelethor Joel, citing a Reddit post from user "PM_MeYourEars" and a Discord post from "AqueousSnake" that identified an animated clip from one of Joel's streams. Sparta123 later confirmed that Vinesauce Joel's video was "likely the source of the game," with Joel later apologizing in a Twitch stream for the time that users had wasted in searching for a non-existent game.

In 2014, Vinesauce created the Vinesauce is HOPE charity drive, a variety gaming stream where proceeds go to the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation (PCRF); former Vinesauce member Hootey is credited with the idea for the event.{{cite web|url=https://kotaku.com/the-guys-at-vinesauce-have-since-2014-been-running-an-a-1836613664|title=Vinesauce is HOPE 2019|first=Luke|last=Plunkett|website=Kotaku|date=July 22, 2019|access-date=April 17, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190723010822/https://kotaku.com/the-guys-at-vinesauce-have-since-2014-been-running-an-a-1836613664|archive-date=July 23, 2019|url-status=live}} In 2017 the Vinesauce is HOPE stream raised over $137,000 and in 2019 they raised over $218,000.
