It’s a lot better now. They (like so many of us) for the most part grew out of that snotty NYC hipster cocaine and secret nightclubs and trashy fashion scene and now do legit journalism. They have different subchannels for specific areas of interest — Broadly for lady stuff, Motherboard for tech, Munchies for food, etc. The HBO show alone is enlightening and more committed than most anything on network TV, although it is a little war-junkie and stunty.
(I like how they keep sending that skinny little white nerd on the some of the most intimidating assignments, like interviewing paranoid Somalian warlords.)
