Vox is diversified enough across publications (sports, trad media like NY mag, vox.com) and platforms (video, movies, etc) that they will be fine. They may never deliver the multiples they promised investors but their investors don't care -- Accel and Allen & Co types didn't put a ton into them, NBCU and Penske are probably just happy Vox hasn't folded like BF and Vice... Vox is solid in the world of media but certainly failed in what they promised to achieve. Still though, just surviving is a high measure of success in the hellscape that is VC funded online media.
The "For You" section of my youtube search is awful, like terribly awful. It's decided for some reason I enjoy popping and weird skin infection videos. I think this is because I clicked through to an external link to a horse getting a hoof infection shaved once (did not enjoy and did not watch all of it). That's literally the only time I've watched anything like that and since then it's always at the bottom of my search. These videos are never recommended on my front page, though.
