I am a big fan of letters to the editors in my local newspaper. I try often to send in my opinions. (though they rarely get printed) But that is the only NewsPaper I consume and my relationship with it is way more personal than any online portal. All websites that I visit are based on links shared via my friends on FB, people on Twitter and Discussions on HN. I really have no personal connection with any online content platform. So unless Vice has a captive audience that visits it religiously and has that personal connection, I am not sure how this section is going to help. It is pretty much the same as stating that “Comments are Turned off. Period.”
