What does the “Guy Disappearing” meme mean?

Where does the “Guy Disappearing” meme come from?

Guy Disappearing comes from a series of three Vine sketches by American comedian Nileseyy Niles, the stage name of Niles Stewart. In each clip, he faces a confusing, awkward, or aggressive situation, flashes a peace sign, and disappears through a video effect. The first video was posted on Vine on April 28, 2015. The title of the third is “When you not tryna get jumped”; the available source does not provide all three titles. The format spread on Twitter after user chanelpuke posted screenshots from the third Vine on June 19, 2015. A parody account associated with WorldStarHipHop later reposted them. Nileseyy Niles also uploaded a 23-minute YouTube video about the gag on October 10, 2015.
