Why did you PoS groomers turn your commenting off on the video of the child drag star? Absolutely disgusting.
That drag queen vid was insane lol
Funny comments are allowed on this, but the current one. Guess we know why you guys are going out of business.

Vice about to be ssniperwolfed. Cowards.
Vice you want to explain the pedophile video you just uploaded?
WTF vice!!! Supporting child abuse for content 🤮.
VICE STAFF G R O O M KIDS AND THEY KNOW IT, THATS WHY THEY TURNED OFF THR COMMENTS. G R O O M I N G FILTH!!!!
Ok, Groomer
The thing for me is, as a single-member LLC I get taxed heavily based on my revenue bracket, and these folks are not paying taxes and money laundering in plain sight. And governments keep us occupied with frivolity stoking the fire of us hating each other while they live lavishly. I can’t 🤷🏾♀️
Now I'm awake ❤❤
Hunter Biden selling his art for 6 figures is 100% legit though
No wonder you guys are getting laid off.
Bro, i think you're a hacker
Love this series and host! Thank you for breaking it down to a ELI5 level 😂 the vibe is epic. The green screen shots are the best!
everyone in the comment section including all of Vice would be doing it to if you all could afford to
Paper money will be worthless during WW3. Only gold and diamonds will be worthy of trade after nuke war
Stop blocking comments you facists
I hate this presenter
Kind of biased ehh. Not saying it’s right or wrong. Just the weird reporting and pointed information is enough for me to not watch the whole video. Kind of over Vice stuff these days. Used to be some good solid content.
