Yep. I wrote two such stories for VICE. I talked to Ricky Vaughn, the Twitter reactionary, on Twitter for many hours across several days. I quickly realized this was why I needed to get back to the world of 9 to 5 work ... I didn't want to hustle this kind of material
I was one of the original people banging on editorial doors telling them to cover this (hence my being on a BBC show with Milo) and then as soon as I saw the resulting coverage, I wrote a long essay for @belt_magazine begging people to stop covering them.

Oh yeah that's right, I do remember that and also you wrote a great article on Milo too about how he was a failed artist and all that as well

Yes, I think that piece was right on the money...he actually collapsed not long after that. I stand by that one
