Checking VICE now I can’t imagine they did all these cool documentaries and even a movie mocking them - the one in which their journalist was doing a vlog from the Jonhstown death cult. Amazing pieces. There should be some model to make press independent of clicks and licensing, to treat them as a public service, because we need good journalism. For a society, it’s like a pain response when it touches a hot frying pan. And reduction of it, replacement of it with social media influencers, the lack of trust to any source are probably ones of those things that lead us more and more towards hell.
