I liked some of their output. Hamilton's Pharmacopeia is an amazing show, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton%27s_Pharmacopeia

I see. So remakes with women, gay people having roles in TV etc. I guess if you're a religious zealot that would hurt. I miss the days where you had to be intelligent to be on the internet. Sorry, but social media royally fucked up humanity into a polarised war of opinions.
" Sorry, but social media royally fucked up humanity into a polarised war of opinions." I rather think it made those polarised opinions more visible. The divide existed before, extremists on all sides just had less broad interaction. Now they read each other on the internet and can directly jump on each others throat. And with less restraint, than in real life, as all semi anonymous.
That's very true. We've given every village idiot a platform to shout out loud world wide.

#63Its easy to take the piss out of Vice, but the world would be a much poorer and less informed place without it.

There must be some other reasons. Disney and Netflix are doing fine while pushing propaganda.
Disney's share price has halved from its two year high.
Or, more realitically,
Disney's share price has returned to it's decade long steady state after the boom time of lockdown subscriptions has passed.

#65Do people consider this as a great loss? I did not liked the sensationalistic format very much, so I avoided them, but they seemed to have done some investigative journalism?
In January 2017 they (Motherboard) published a long and detailed article (translated from Das Magazin) about how Cambridge Analytica had used Facebook data to help get Trump elected, somthing I thought was important for everyone to know about. A year later bigger media "revealed" the same information and it became big news around the world.

Positive take. Yet, I doubt anyone who bought shares over the last two years shares your enthusiasm.

Vice used to have a lot of really great reporting. To see what it's become now is saddening to me.

Yeah yeah, girls get it done is of course the most believable trope ever.
I'm sorry but they do get it done, just look at your mother. It's silly to silo roles based on sex. Embrace the differences, you'll live a much happier life, rather than being sold the idea of segregation based on anything. Segregation sells clicks, it sells views, it sells ideas. As for entertainment, it's entertainment. If you're referring to women remakes of films, it's not my cup of tea either, it doesn't mean th…
Mentioning my mother in this context is as counter-productive as possible. In fact, if it were not for my mother, I would give women a bit more slack.

I am not sure if I understand you right, but are you saying girls are in general less competent?
Nope. I am against the woke trope that "everything is better done by a women". Absoulte statements like this and the one you tried to imply are always wrong.

#70Remember what they did to Naomi Wu (aka. SexyCyborg / https://www.youtube.com/@Naomi-Wu).
Vice's behaviour was unethical at best and Naomi - who is a wonderful tech content creator - got into significant trouble putting her business at serious risk.
Why would you do that as a "journalist"?
