I subscribe to their feed because they got great articles about forgotten corners and aspects of the world, but I can only stand it because I filter out all synonyms of weed and drugs

oohhh couldn't have said it better.
they try too hard to be edgy because the edgy content is what sells the best.
unfortunately that diminishes anything of substance that could have been explored.

They traffic in hot takes which are, by definition, under-informed.
>"SULOME ANDERSON SAYS FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION ISN'T A MUSLIM PROBLEM!!!"
And is immediately proven incorrect.
>"WE TALKED TO LIMP DICK MANLET MARTIN SHKRELI ABOUT WHY HE SUCKS LMAO"
And he won tons of fans because we weren't prepared for- shocker- a 30 year old multimillionaire investor to be eloquent and persuasive.
They have unparrallelled access, but only because they send out hipster kids who try to be too cool for competent journalism. VICE, along with NYMag, Guardian Online, HuffPo, Gawker, etc, know they aren't competent enough to threaten huge mainstream media networks, so they pander to their audience's biases for clickbait money.
