I’ll buy it

Thank you

What happened after 2014 though

Hamilton's Pharmacopeia a great show

"In mid-August 2013, Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox invested US$70 million in Vice Media, resulting in a 5 percent stake. "

"In August 2014, A&E Networks, a television group jointly owned by The Walt Disney Company and Hearst Corporation, made a US$250-million investment in Vice Media for an ownership stake of 10%.44 In November and December 2015, Disney made two additional individual investments of US$200 million totalling $400 million."

... more of the same continued.

Go woke go broke

And a win for Top G

biggest falloff in history (not even talkign about its value)

Might be showing my age here but Vice Magazine was also super fun for a while

they use to do high quality investigative docs

looking into super interesting stuff no one else does, they legit rode along with ISIS in iraq one time.. going to north korea, spending days with cannibal warlords, finding weird d***gies in the middle of nowhere

started getting money from big media companies, shane smith the founder took a fat check and left

then Vice started making way more content but it was all just generic crap like everyone else makes, they lost the vision

Damn thank you for breaking this all down, you too @JaeRell

I remember some of those videos popping up for me back then but I never jumped into vice stuff too much

Seems like I missed out big but at least I can go back and watch the older videos

aren’t we all

Andrew Tate is actually insufferable, it’s beyond my understanding how he has a following

GO WOKE GO BROKE

Isobel Yeung a baddie

great job disney

Still got a bunch of these from when I worked at American Apparel, was great for a while

damn you worked there you must be cute. they take your photo at your interview?

when he came out as pro covid vax the other day

Shane Smith didn't leave. He's still the head of the company and 20% stakeholder. Suroosh is also active in the company. They just ran the company into the ground.
Shane spent years making fun of legacy media and smugly acting like Vice was going to put legacy news media orgs out of business. He then turned around and took fat checks from half of them, turning his company away from what made it big to begin with into literally copying the business model of the legacy media companies he made fun of for having s***ty business models.

i remember a story in 2018 about him leaving the company but yeah seems like he’s still there

yeah he was almost so smug about Vice being the future of media then just recreated a legacy media company

him being smug must have worked with investors though cause they raised so much lol
