I still really like Vice News, but they do a lot less investigative pieces that are on the ground. Their reporting on Ukraine in 2014/15, Syria and even North Korea were top notch. I hope at least the News portion is bought up by Axios or someone. Vice itself, I could do without. It hasn't been relevant in a long time and is mostly just living on rage clicks. Like BuzzFeed, it felt like just adding "News" to a brand that largely wasn't actually "News" was a mistake. You'd got to vice.com and it would be a heap of trash, but go to "vicenews.com" (now just redirects to a section of Vice) and you'll get much better content.
For instance, on vicenews.com now you see "Ukraine Is Now Using Steam Decks to Control Machine Gun Turrets" which is interesting...then on vice.com you have "Ring In #MasturbationMay With MysteryVibe's Massive Sex Toy Sale"...what is this mix? Why did they do this? vice.com is also full of stoner content, it's wild.
