AUTHOR NOTE: I discovered news.Y from traffic statistics to an earlier version of this article. The article remains a &quot;work in progress&quot; but has been significantly updated.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;vicemediakit.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;vicemediakit.com</a> redirects to <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;thoughts-on-media&#x2F;vice-media-kit-warning-for-advertisers-25ad0600f61d" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;thoughts-on-media&#x2F;vice-media-kit-warning-...</a><p>If self-posting is banned I&#x27;ll delete this. Otherwise I&#x27;ll try to answer any questions.<p>SUMMARY: Print circulation numbers multiplied by 10, traffic multiplied by 4-10 times and dodgy hiring practices. All these corporate shenanigans, to me, add up to the largest house of cards in the media world.<p>ABOUT ME: After getting my M.Arch I realized I was in a unique position to write a book on Vice Media. I wrote it because I believe click-fraud and anti-competitive practices are drowning out the honest players in the media world.
