Vinesauce in the media
Over the past years, Vinesauce grew kinda big. There is no doubt in that and honestly, it's not a bad thing. However, while the site and channels were growing, some publications took notice of the saucy source and shared it with others.

This thread is an incomplete collection of articles that involve Vinesauce in some kind or another.

Articles could mean plain reposts of videos, maybe even guest articles of the streamers or even podcasts.

YouTube videos will be labeled in a red colour for clear distinction.

Podcasts does not include "Two On the Vine" by the way, since it is a Vinesauce production on its own.

Disclaimer: The links go directly to the original article, not archived versions. If you desire not giving those websites any traffic (and honestly, with a few sites I can't blame you), please refer to sites like archive.is. But beware that some pages might not load properly with that method.
