>"It took Twitter 10 years to turn a profit"

Twitter and Vice Media(as opposed to just the magazine) both have origins of 2006.

From the article:

>"In 2006, Vice started Virtue, a cheekily named ad agency that allowed the magazine to deploy its creative talents on behalf of brands. A year later, Vice became one of the first digital-media outlets to get into online video with vbs.tv, a digital-video site funded with a $2 million investment from Viacom."

Vice has been around since the mid 90's. It started as the Montreal Voice.
Yes which is why I clearly stated - "Vice Media(as opposed to just the magazine)"
