It was dead for a while before that happened. I used to have the app and read new artlcles every day. They fired the good writers and went more and more SJW until I finally realized that it wasn't me who was getting bored with the content, it was the content that was going to shit.

What normally happens when you segregate your fanbase.

Their podcasts are still okay outside of that one where we listen to a woman talk about how much it sucks to get hit on at the gym for an hour, but holy fuck Sorin needs to shut the fuck up about Back to the Future.

look at that trend
>>
I find that many of their funniest writers no longer produce many of the articles. In fact, most seem to continue doing the comedy via videos now, which is pretty much Cracked's only claim to be a humour site anymore.

I dislike their approach to be a more "newsworthy" site, as opposed to a "hey look at these 5 guys who did awesome shit in WW2" timewaster
>>
Honestly? The site succumbed to a shit-load of cronyism, and those who wrote for it started thinking they were the top of the tower, the cream of the crop, the stinkless shitters of India's legend.

I had a little background on the vetting process for articles, and though none of mine ever went through, I got to see how screwed up it was first hand.

The vetting process is *hard*, but the little fine-print writing beneath that statement reads "for new authors." Ever wonder why every article has the same names above it?

If you submit an idea interesting enough you get past the weed-out forums into the private ones. The ones I saw there would have been *wayyyy* better than half the shit they peddled on their site.

But for some reason new authors always had inaccuracies (nevermind the glaring inaccuracies their primary writers laced articles with weekly), or would not make interesting lists (because our readers want to read "5 Reasons X taught me Y" instead of "4 weird claims to extraterrestrial real-estate that actually made it to court".), or would not be funny (Let's have another photo-caption instead!)

Eventually this lack of quality began shattering their once-great site, until where we are now, where the good veneer of the site has Cracked, and we're left with the disgusting underbelly beneath.
>>
>>70720865
Holy shit, no. They were like this since something like 2011. Just check their archives.
They went from
>6 SHOCKING science inventions you don't know exist
>12 facts you believe that are WRONG
to
>Why Nationalism is wrong and troubling (Nazism reborn!!!)
>10 reasons males are conditioned to hate women
They were always clickbait, but there was a massive decline in quality. They went pure SJW before SJW were a thing. They're one of the grandfathers of the SJW shit we see today.

Just check this video from 2011.

Can we make this the websites used to be cool until going SJW thread?
>>
>>70722445
This is actually something I was thinking about a few hours ago.
If I were to make a site like that, were would I get the information from? Getting information is not that easy. If it was I wouldn't have to go to sites like cracked where they put that information out in an easy to understand format.

People say that we live in the information age and all you have to do is google something, but it's not that easy. I always google things and try to find information. You get conflicting information or not even what you are looking for.

Just an example. I see people posting long videos on twitter, but I can only post a 20 sec video, so I look up how to post a longer video. The results are not even related to what I am looking for. I do some digging and I find a video on the subject, a guy is showing how to upload a longer video, but the video is old, so it's no longer relevant.
I do more digging and I find reddit posts where assholes just go ''sent you the solution ;)''.
It took way too much effort to find out that you need to go trough some sort of an advertisement campaign to post longer videos.
Pretty much every time I try to find out something that's not common knowledge I end up spending an hour on google and youtube chasing dead-ends.

Looking up products like nootropics is a complete nightmare.
>>

Vice has always been dirty hipster douches looking for excuses to do drugs and film it.
>>
>>70721898
Yeah, me too. But in the end I felt fatigued and the content started to repeat or at least resemble prior articles, I mean there's only so much you can do with lists and going into the weirder or unknown parts of ikipedia

>>70722572
Vice has always been at least borderline SJW, but in the past they still produced quality videos about stuff most traditional media corperations wouldn't cover (they still do these videos), but somehow the interesting content got less and less and hipsters talking about hipster things with other hipsters or covering hipsters doing hipster things in NYC/LA/(maybe Detroit, but only in a white area) got more and more.

>You get conflicting information or not even what you are looking for.
It was worse when all we had was books.

Search engines have been getting worse since 2010+, because they optimize them for morons.
A simple boolean search isn't that useful anymore.

Try yandex or duckduckgo.
>>
>>70723229
Yeah, google is fucked.
The way I found what I wanted to find out about Twitter was by deleting my search history. Then I could immediately find what I was looking for.
>>
>>70722914
From what I've seen Vice is fairly neutral. I've seen more honesty from them than anyone else.
They did a video where they go to Russia and talk to heroin addicts. They didn't judge them, they just asked them a bunch of neutral questions and explained the situation in Russia.
They also did a video on Martin Shkreli. All they did was ask him a bunch of neutral questions and it was a pleasant interview in a casual environment.
That's exactly what I want from journalists.

If you go on BBC or Fox News they will immediately go ''How long have you been A GODDAMN NAZI???'' and twist everything.

Yeah, the videos from around the world and on certain topics are great, but then you read the articles or watch things on certain topics and you can see the very leftist bias showing trough.
I mostly just watch the vice international videos and sometimes read articles on Vice Germany and it really depends on the author, some are "lol, fraternities are all nazis, lol how dumb, lol look German flag in main room, lol just like hitler" and some are really neutral in depth articles and that ask smart questions and look at the topic with an open mind. I think they buy a lot of articles from independent writers, that might explain the differences

Used to be better, though. It was always kind of juvenile humor, but learning about poorly supported crazy facts about history or biology used to be pretty fun. Now, though, all their articles are rehashes of older articles or SJW bullshit.

The weirdest thing is that they have these 'contests' (with cash prizes) about who can supply the best photo edit, but for most of them literally every applicant is some dude named AuntieMeme.

>>70724459
Unsurprisingly, they actually have an article defending the new Ghostbusters. It was pretty bad and actually kind of racist about the black chick as well as Winston, suggesting that both were dumb BECAUSE they were black.

They used to have a video series called 'Adam ruins everything' or something to that effect, that was actually really good.
I recently saw he now has a full half hour show which mostly seems like the same things but still pretty good.
So good for him, making a career for himself and he seems pretty based. Not calling the Jews out based, but decently based.

Sorta.

Whites are often kinder to animals, and they're kinder back in return, so most get conditioned to remember light skinned humans = friendly head patters, darker skinned = more likely to kick them and screech.
