The journalist you are referring to now works at the verge, fyi
If you believe "naomi" then you have been duped by her American husband, timaz.
As she attempted to bring light to this, Vice lawyers went after her directly. They also had her patreon shut down. With no way to make money with her channel, she had to go back to full time web development as her channel languished, leaving her with no time for projects.
She tried to bring attention to the injustices with Vice staff and the public, but Vice ignored her and made efforts to smother her voice on platforms like Twitter.
Since I can’t read all of it or read both sides, I can’t tell who did what wrong. Some links she added to the post seem fairly damning to Vice, but I could only skim those as well.
Seeing as Vice is going bankrupt and I don’t see a lot of people too upset about it, maybe it’s safe to bank on their journalism not being all that great, and there could be merit to Naomi’s story.
Vice's behaviour was unethical at best and Naomi - who is a wonderful tech content creator - got into significant trouble putting her business at serious risk.
Why would you do that as a "journalist"?
