The problem with doing a hit piece on a guy like that is you are just feeding the fire.
It's like when the bad guy in Starwars says "strike me down and it will make stronger" or whatever.

This piece will not hurt him because the behavior being described is very typical of Millennial narcissists and Hipsters, Vice's core demo.

The dude looks like he can play the sensitive artist role well. Perhaps the woman was wishing upon a star that Viceman would write a poem about her validating her life. Or maybe she thought he was the nest she could do and was hoping he'd stick with her.

What do Millennials with no education want to watch?
Fox? No, that's for white racists.
CNN? Mainstream. No image cred for watching CNN.
MSNBC? Only when their hero was up for reelection. Not much cred here either, I mean like, some people like, they just like take politics too seriously.
VICE is stepping into a vacuum and they could make billions.
Hipster douchebag Beta White Knight "reporters" offering up a guilt free freakshow.
Pure genius. Take an old concept, the freak show, and make it morally and ethically acceptable to self righteous young people who would never go to a real freak show because of the "exploitation and oppression."
Sell the product as "the real stories of real people" and don't worry about missign anything because whatever is missed can be dismissed as the mainstream's view of things.
They can pay the "reporters" expenses only. Once VICE becomes even cooler they will have people paying them to be allowed to report and get some fame.
My advice, invest in VICE if you can, they may make billions.

Haha. "Stress can literally kill me". That's brilliant. I wish I could think of stuff like and get away with saying it.
Anyway, as far as I can make out the actual or contrived personality of Smith and the other two founders of Vice is perfect for the shallow Canadian hipster chicks. My guess is that at the start hey were running their own game after accurately identifying their environment. And good for them.

Vice was founded in Montreal, but they moved base to NYC 14 years ago. So shallow (redundant) Brooklyn hipster chicks.
I can't have sex with your personality, and I can't put my penis in your college degree, and I can't shove my fist in your childhood dreams, so why are you sharing all this information with me?

I generally hate hipsters but I have to give him props for that creative lie.
I've got the dick so I make the rules.
