I’ve actually seen mixed sentiment from reddit.
In subreddit r/videos, there’s a thread:
And the sentiment definitely seems to be AT THE EXPENSE of the video, or at the very least, critical of it. This was not a good video, and Vice’s recent anti-fiction crusade is nothing short of a repugnant attempt at poking a hornets nest to try and act morally superior, when in fact, they are simply being antagonistic.
I used to have a lot of respect for Vice, but this is just… no. Journalistic ethics used to mean something by those who cared about reality, not just ideals.
