Makes sense. A bunch of uppity ass hipster CACs with ivy league degrees spend their time making docs that are like " look at these strange people and what they do!" there's a market for that


They're going from undercuts to combovers with this takeover tho

I'm talking stupid internet companies are somehow worth billions and this is no different.

if they had a.fundraising much like kickstarter but wall st/silicon valley style they would value them at a billion dollars....at least

I'd like to see a spreadsheet of their assets...




What is their yearly revenue even?

It's a magazine (dying industry) and they make hour long mini documentaries for pot heads...

tv and internet...making money doesn't matter. Look at the companies I mentioned. Its the dot com bubble all over again.

instagram has 14 employees and makes no money but they're somehow bought for a billion or two.

whatsapp and snapcahat are bought for 2 and 17 billion.

if they can collect information on millions of users....regardless if the service.is free or not...youre worth hundreds of millions if not billions

Personally do you think there is value in that though? If so how much value?

I realize it's the new "it thing" to put money behind but I'm just not seeing it.


I understand the marketing/advertising potential but am I missing something else?

Facebook turned it into a 100 billion dollar company. Ask yourself why are they worth a 100 billion yet its a free service?

This sucks. I stopped paying attention when FOX got involved. Corporate hipster news? No thanks. I'd take that deal, though.

Uber got a 17 or 18 billion dollar valuation this past week that had people screaming bubble 2.0 . They generate revenue in the millions reportedly but i never thought a media asset like VICE would be making that much money.Time Warner can simply add it to its huge portfolio of assets.
