How is Vice "countercultural"? A notch more mainstream and it would be the Readers Digest...

They used to be, that's how they got started. I remember watching their videos in the early 2010s on drugs - including one where the host of the video flew to the Czech Republic to do heroin there.

Now? Yeah, I wouldn't call them counter-cultural anymore.

It is mainstream, now. That's the point OP is making. They at least attempted to focus on counter culture at the start, before they went corporate.
