That article is paywalled, but what Dixon wrote is cryptic.

“It is no longer cost-effective for us to distribute our digital content the way we have done previously,” Vice CEO Bruce Dixon said in the memo, which was seen by NBC News. Vice Media did not immediately respond to emails requesting comment on Thursday’s news.

Dixon added that the company would now “look to partner with established media companies to distribute our digital content, including news, on their global platforms, as we fully transition to a studio model.”

What is he even talking about? What is a studio model?

They’re going to only release direct to VHS content.

I'm assuming he's referring to the Vice TV cable channel.

Shows how long ago I cut the cord. That apparently launched in 2016 and I didn't even know it existed.

Maybe they'll sell stuff to other platforms rather than be a platform. But I'm just guessing.

Sorry. Link on post changed to nbcnews. Knew there was something fishy about Business Insider but it looked normal I viewed it.

It's all going to be "sponsored" articles written by companies looking to advertise.
