Some of this stuff is new, some of it has been out there for a few years (such as stiffing of freelancers)

Kinda hard to take that seriously when the article cites Jann Wenner as a legitimate critic.

I became a fan of Shane Smith and Vice when he did the first of many Rogan podcasts...2011 I think? He drank a shit ton of whiskey and told a lot of stories traveling to fucked up places. Badass interview: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AD27xCn9_rE

Always found it weird he never wanted to talk about his past. Rogan would bring it up from time to time but Shane was always shady. He definitely comes off as an ass in the article. Most of their online stuff has become clickbait. They still put out decent stuff from time to time on HBO. I was very disappointed in the edited Jordan Peterson interview.

Many good quotes but this is one nice little swipe. Shane Smith is now Homer Simpson walking into Suicide Notes waxing nostalgic about The Us festival and Apple computers. Also, we live in hell.

Quote:

All this left Smith heading into 2017 in a position he hadn’t planned to be in: still owning his company, which was now populated by employees 20-plus years his junior who didn’t care that he’d once been in a punk band called Leatherassbuttfuk.

I'm kinda impressed how you have an educated opinion on all these nobodies I've never heard of.

You're on a media board and don't know who Jann Wenner is?

Shane Smith always kinda rubbed me the wrong way, and now I see it was not for nothing.
What an asshole.

You mean that one show about the fat Icelandic tranny Michelin starred chef who moonlights as an Antifa rioter/weed co-op owner?
Yeah, I like that one show too.
:lol:

Call me shocked that a guy who ran a network called Vice was running a scam on readers, watchers and investors.

Viceland was cool until you realize it was basically the same 3 shows.
