People are enjoying the demise of Vice Media, with many of them pointing out that literally nothing of value was lost.
Having once been valued at $5.7 billion (in 2017), and acquired out of bankruptcy last year by a consortium including George Soros, the company announced plans to cut hundreds of jobs and has - as of 14 hours ago - stopped publishing on Vice.com.
The VICE CMS has been turned off. That's all folks.

Chief executive Bruce Dixon said, “It is no longer cost-effective for us to distribute our digital content the way we have done previously.”
The once supposedly “edgy” media outlet has been ridiculed for years for allowing its output to descend into the most utterly demented, vulgar and degenerate far-left content.
Respondents on X exploded with joy.
However will we cope without such stories as ‘How I Rediscovered Sexual LIberation Through Fisting’, ‘How to Eat Out a Non-Op Trans Woman’ and ‘Most Child Sex Abusers Are Not Pedophiles, Expert Says’.
RIP in peace, Vice https://t.co/8ODO6kzrYh pic.twitter.com/BtB6mYJXr0

Actually, no we won't. You were abysmal and everybody who ever contributed to your website deserves to be out of work forever. https://t.co/8T3e5A6gnu pic.twitter.com/Dslcufuhyo
Unfortunately the YouTube channel may stagger on for a while.
I know it's not the YouTube channel shutting down, but come on. Vice used to make good content and now it's descended to this. Anyone could tell that Vice was on its last legs... https://t.co/Zfs3Oe6tuX pic.twitter.com/h0t7eKgOs2

Vice previously asserted that “Twitter is dead,” but I just checked and it’s still doing just fine, unlike them.

One of their last articles attacked Christian nationalists.
The last article published on VICE before it shuts down.

One Vice journalist cried about wasting his life in the profession, but was told to “learn to code”.

Tim Pool offered unemployed Vice writers a job.
Any VICE reporters want a job?

Far-left progressive and regime media outlets are crumbling across the board.

It really is a sad day for journalists everywhere.
