These folks are backing it up, from a post on Bluesky by Aram Zucker-Scharff (@chronotope.aramzs.xyz):
Interesting fact about Vice's content: a full site archive, including saving outbound links, was performed by the volunteer Archive Team last year & it took ~6 months to capture all the Vice content across all the languages they publish in. They've published a lot! They're updating the archives now.
back it up
I'd rather start saving my trash, thanks

Vice had a tech podcast called ‘Cyber’ and they dropped a final episode yesterday. It’s just a bunch of the staff bewildered and mourning the fall of Vice. Pretty interesting.
More amusing was that they did it ‘rogue’. Much of their CDN was inoperable, except for the podcast deliver infrastructure.
How nice. A site founded by a racist who once stuck a dildo up his ass live on streaming video as a "joke" is going to shove a dildo up the ass of all of its employees.
as a joke
sure
Congratulations, you have repeated the same point as the parent commenter, but removed the quotation marks to make it seem like they didn't do that, so to create for yourself an opportunity to say it again
Incredibly sleuthy analysis my dude
