Vice is what you get when you combine journalism, capitalism, and navel-gazing college dropouts with no skills and lots of ambition. It's Tumblr for Medium. It would be beautiful, if it weren't so blatantly terrible. In a world where where startups with good ideas, talented people and lots of cash fail regularly, these witless wonders turn garbage into viral gold. Kudos to them.
- sincerely 9y agoI respect your bittnerness towards the world, but Vice is no different than any of the other businesses that use easily accessible , low effort content to subsidize their high effort work (for instance: Vice uses articles like “I did everything Siri told me to for a week” to subsidize their video work, Buzzfeed uses listicles to support their genuinely good longform journalism, and Comme des Garçons uses the extremely boring “Play” sublabel to subsidize their avant-garde, expensive runway shows)
