A couple of guys who wore that microphone like a weapon-and-shield-in-one made Vice. I don't know if it was so much Vice being good as being willing to give these guys a press credential. And some money. I don't know if there is a world in which you make money off those trips. Probably not, which is why you don't see anyone doing it. SO here's to you, Vice, for sometimes being a accidental good waste of some billionaire's money.
The attempt at a money making version of that is all the dildo stuff. It's the exact opposite of sending a camera crew to Africa, because you can have the whole story written by someone using Twitter who never leaves NY. And you can scale that. There are more than 3 guys willing to write dildo stories; 3 guys willing to interview cannibal African warlords, IDK.
