VICE Asia Youtube channel statistics

We wanted to do stories about people who you never hear about, and that's where we found our voice.

We wanted to build a media company that played by the rules, but maybe changed them a little bit.

We wanted to shine a light on the things that weren't being shown.

The internet gave us a great chance to start a company and access all these crazy people around the world who, just a few years earlier, we wouldn't have had a chance to meet.

Sometimes people just want to hear the truth, even if it's uncomfortable or unpopular.

VICE was built on this idea that the world needs honest journalism to function, and we need to be able to express all these voices.

It's a strange thing to essentially have a history-making party with a bunch of well-wishers and friends who genuinely love the organization and are proud of it.

You've got to stick with it and not give up and not quit.

I think a lot of brands or media companies think that youth culture is a demographic, and I think VICE is just too small-minded of an organization to think that way.

I believe one of the main reasons VICE has been successful is because we learned that the internet is the most powerful tool in history to connect with young people.
