CS 165: Not Vice feat. Daniel Voshart (@f__kvice) (04/06/2019 (Patreon)

Today we talk with Daniel Voshart (http://twitter.com/f__kvice), creator of the website notvice.com, a personal project he's been working on for over a year exhaustively cataloguing all the issues involving the Vice media empire.

Correction: Daniel later clarified to me that he made a mistake and the proprietary player vs Youtube shares was 50 times it was 20 times. Not a big deal. Here is the analysis he used to reach that figure:
