I remember everyone getting angry at Buzzfeed and now no one talks about it. The times change, I guess.
Well when the site makes the same low-effort content over and over again, there's not much original content to get mad at
They've been making the same shit for 10 years, there's not much left to say about it. Plus tons of people actually enjoy that low-effort shit and stuff like the sponsored Snapchat stories so what BuzzFeed is doing isn't even laughable anymore.
They understood they suck
Thats coz they are no longer relevant.
The more we focus on them, the more publicity they get and thus, more monies.

I think Cracked was doing the listicle thing at least as far back as 2010, before Buzzfeed started doing it, but Buzzfeed was way more popular with normies and catladies
@A Guill the true ads series was a bit funnu ig
Cracked was only good as a magazine. Their website was like trying to resurrect a corpse and stuff mad magazine down its throat
Cracked has gotten so bad lately. It was always a little on the self-righteous side with politics pre-2014, but after Trump they dropped all pretenses and went as far left as they could get. Last I checked it's nothing but strawmanning and repeating everything mainstream news says, but with "jokes" added. I gave up on them the moment they had an article defending pediatriacian bibliophiles (Combine the prefix and the suffix of those words) because they were "Born that way and can't help it." that was also when I knew the left is a side I can't possibly associate with anymore. For that level of disgust they produced I think they're even worse than buzzfeed, because at least Buzzfeed to my knowledge never went to such unforgivable lengths.

I’m just confused how it went from showing your boyfriend a bloody pad to talking about cologne in less than 15 seconds
Tbh I thought it turned into a buzzfeed video
I mean...I'd change topics pretty quickly too if that was the current topic.
Even worse, the tests are basically a low-effort way to get you to hand them data about you, so they can sell it to advertisers. And I'm sure they do the deceptive website tricks like counting a scroll down as a page visit, so it artificially inflates the page hit count so they get more ad revenue. Or making you click a "next" button to go to the next list entry, so the page refreshes each time and boosts the hit number. The cheesiest and sleeziest shit you fully expect out of a hollow husk of a company such as Buzzfeed
I dont understand how "what soup looks the most tasty" would be translated to useful data? Maybe those "how big is your house" type questions but most of the questions don't even show anything attached to a product.

Ok.... This might sound a little weird but the Arab spring leader one is kinda smart. It's an efficient and effective way of spreading information to a group of people who most likely wouldn't have know. It also introduces people into the Arab spring if they don't already know about it.
Ok, but then why introduce it to them like that? I don’t really like the idea of telling someone which dictator they “are” based on a few personality similarities; to me that just belittled the nature of the stuff they actually did. I mean, I’m part Levantine myself, but I don’t want anyone telling me that I’m like any Arabic-speaking strongman leader because I hate all those people and want them out of power anyway.
Damn that scene from the Turkish Parliament was so great
The best politics are the ones played by insulting your opponent's wife then getting punched in the mouth then responding with further punching. Everyone hates politics, but everyone also likes watching fights, so obviously watching politicians get their shit pushed in is good stuff.

In 2008 or so when I was a basement dwelling teenager, I was a F2P MMO connoisseur and played hundreds of them, often going through shady sites and relying on my wits and gut instinct to not pick up malware along the way. Buzzfeed triggered *every* alarm bell in my mind as malware, and whenever a sneaky ghost ad lead me to their site, I closed it so fast and immediately did a scan.
In 2021 I still think they're malware and to be avoided, albeit for slightly different reasons.

It's crazy how Buzzfeed's entire online presence was propped up for 4 years by Shane and Ryan and their unsolved series
I still can't fucking believe how they became a "legitimate source of news" during the gamergate era and seeing people lap it up. It was a sad state of affairs.
This is actually my favorite video covering the buzzfeed topic on youtube. As someone who’s older sister used buzzfeed when it was first popping off and who was aware of it early on you kinda nailed all the history and interpretation of facts.
Rooster Teeth is kinda in the same vein. Over 9M subs yet can barely crack 150K views. Taking the previous seasons of RWBY off of UA-cam was the dumbest decisions they ever made. They may get more revenue on their own site, but why cut out that large audience? And pretty much anything other than the new RWBY episodes no one cares about.
Rooster Teeth was mismanaged to super omega double Hell.
Buzzfeed collapsed under its own weight.
Old Roosterteeth was based. It seems like after Monty Oum passed away and Ray leaving it went to shit more ways than one. The only good modern stuff I remember is Camp Camp and Nomad of Nowhere.
@@nuclear_bonsai I'm pissed that Nomad hasn't continued.
Doesn't help that the newer seasons of RvB and RWBY are absolutely dumpster-tier.
If they gain more money from their shit, then I understand not wanting to focus on the channel.
I get PTSD everytime I hear those Buzzfeed opening sound effects
My pet peeve with Buzzfeed is being against objectification on female celebs (fair but a little naive. Celebrities, as per the way fame operates, are judged in the Court of Public opinion which includes appearance.)
But then to turn around and objectify male celebs with the most disgusting and frankly offensive headers? Suddenly that's OK?!
I love buzzfeed India though
I did watch some BuzzFeed India long ago... didn't find them much different from the proper BuzzFeed honestly.
Yes, because if a man is objectified abused or beaten it doesn't matter, they should man up. Men are never oppressed and women are always oppressed.
The only good thing to come out of BuzzFeed is Shane and Ryan, who now do their own paranormal shows on another channel, Watcher. Even the best of BuzzFeed got out if they could. It's kinda sad
The only buzzfeed content that's even remotely interesting is their unsolved series, and those guys are hard carrying buzzfeed
they're also gonna be quitting buzzfeed real soon seeing as unsolved is being wrapped rn
Idk... I watch a lot of crime stuff (i.e. That Chapter etc) and I can't stand the "style" of Unsolved videos... they do seem to be high quality though. Maybe I should give them another chance.
@@Kaiji... You shouldn't go in expecting there to be serious investigations since that ain't their style
worth it was carrying hard too
That and tasty, they hit the chef personality jackpot on that channel
I think there will be another large dip in their viewership in the next year. The Unsolved boys will have completed their final season and have a pretty hardcore fanbase. They'll take those viewers to Watcher.
I went to a university that had a lot of people that agreed with Buzzfeed's... Style politically. The ratio of women to men at the university was roughly 7:1. These kinds of videos and 'facts' were parroted endlessly, and it resulted in a lot of hate towards men on the campus, including the occasional - not even hidden or attempted to be secretive - open plotting to falsely accuse males on campus for a variety of sexual related misconduct. The atmosphere was, in certain spaces, very hostile. It was once I learned that these people were often simply repeating whatever they heard on Buzzfeed that week, I began to hate it.
Honestly, the irony that a number of people on campus would berate men for not understanding a woman's body, while in the very next breath shame them for sitting with their legs partly open because "I have boobs on my chest and don't have my arms wide open all day so you don't need your legs open" (that is to say, demonstrating a clear lack of understanding of the opposite sex's biology, the same thing they berated others for)... It was just a hivemind of hypocrisy and tension. It was an unhealthy environment based around an unhealthy mindset.
Attending university during a time that Misandry was masquerading as Feminism was a stressful experience I have no desire to experience again.
You speak as if any of that has changed.
🙃
No wonder people hate feminist there ass hopes who think there in the right
I want to know what kind of university you attended that had a 7:1 gender ratio. That's like a whole inverse GDQ.
Seems melodramatic.
No B.S. calling other men low testosterone betas gives me a good chuckle.
Irony at it's finest

Shocked you didn’t mention the incessant claims of “I hate Buzzfeed… Except Buzzfeed Unsolved!!1!!1!!” It’s a decent show, but the desperation by fans to separate it from the rest of Buzzfeed’s content has always made me giggle internally
And now Buzzfeed shuts down its news with lots of layoffs. This vid helps explain why
Whenever someone dunks on No Bullshit, my eyes light up
BuzzFeed Unsolved was the only good thing to come out of this company, Ryan and Shane I'm convinced were the only two guys with personality at that entire company.
My thoughts exactly,and I'm pretty sure they have their own channel now
I remember watching their fact videos and I literally forgot every fact they have given to me
you are so fucking good at the early frame cuts 😭😭 the “what’s up guy-“, “tiktok is full of predat-“, “tumblr had child po-“
it makes me laugh every time and i cant tell why you’re so good at it. i think it’s because you cut and move on without letting it simmer like everyone else does. they pause so you can’t miss the punchline, but you continuing past it as if it didn’t happen makes it so perfect
The weirdest part of Buzzfeed is their serious journalism. Like their reporting over events is actually good, to the point I believe they have won a Pulitzer. It's so bizarre and unfortunate for the reporters that don't get their work taken seriously because of the company they work for. I occasionally do quizzes and see their regional content such as BuzzFeed India since I won't lie it's kind of fun albeit basic, but ultimately the mainstream company that takes itself very seriously but very lightly at the same time and has failed to both and hence is outdated and bizarre. I hate using the term SJW, but they're literally quite that except they don't seem to have nuanced view of the issues to advocate for especially behind the scenes.
Sucks to suck and sucks to work for the suck.
I think the reason they can be good is precisely because of how stupid the company is and how little they care. The big media outlets all need to report news with their particular slant so they can’t be honest. Since Buzzfeed didn’t make money off their reporting, it didn’t need that kind of heavy handed oversight.
Being left in obscurity doesn’t always mean quality, but it does mean that it isn’t stuck in the usual pitfalls of popular media.
@Adishri Padiyar The Pulitzer Prize is just another establishment award like an Oscar. It means nothing now. It's a pat on the back for those inside the cult that display right think. Those who display wrong think are disqualified from consideration for such an award.
SJW is still a good term to this day. The critical theorists have only ramped up the praxis in the last decade. Call. Them. Out.
I would heavily disagree and a Pulitzer prize is in my eyes just more proof of why. These rewards have been politicised idiocy for almost a decade now.
The “big personalities” of buzz feed are living embodiments of every negative millennial stereotype.
Whenever you upload I internally celebrate a bit even if it's not that rare
Thanks for posting this, I just went and binged their old videos like the cat one
Omg, that logo sound... Reminds me of every time my younger sister wanted to show me a video in high school.
My favorite buzzfeed arc was the "lets pander to certain political groups so hard we deliberately spread blatant fake news". That one was kinda fun
Damn that little shot at Canadians with 1 USD really got me 😂
I went to college with a couple of the OG Buzzfeed UA-cam contributors (people you would recognize if you watched a lot of their stuff) and when the channel was blowing up it was kind of neat to be able to say "hey, I know those guys!" but never really paid much attention to their content. It never occurred to me until now just how little I see it now compared to what used to be the case.
Honestly you’re one of my favorite channels on UA-cam, you have great, high quality content. Please keep it up, love ur shit
I did become a buzz feed fan due to buzz feed unsolved and tbh they were well made with great details to the case
BuzzFeed is like Vox and Vice but they don't think of themselves as a huge media conglomerate.
Your editing and use of stock footage and b roll adds so much to your videos.
Yk an ad was needed after the bloody pad part. Thank you
The Buzzfeed series where the guy would like outsmart cops is pretty cool
tbh for their youtube channel, the worth it content was pretty neat, concept might not seem like the best but i feel like they did good in the execution of it, you had hosts that weren't you usual annoying buzzfeed, it wasn't some bait content like their other batshit braindead stuff, and the camera-man (adam) did a pretty good job with the filming/editting, in a way it worked because although some of these stuff were expensive, i never felt like they wasted money, cause it felt like it was worth making the video for.
Bro this guy could post a one hour long video on a topic I don’t care about and I’d still watch it.

One thing that frustrates me about these videos with people moaning about how ridiculous BuzzFeed quizes are is that none of them know that _anyone_ can write a buzzfeed quiz. Most of them are obvious trolls.
What's the point of "trolling" if it costs you your reputation? If you're a company that baits people into thinking you're a website for vapid idiots, then the viewers are not the butt of the joke, the company is. At a certain point, it doesn't matter if it was done sarcastically. The Buzzfeed brand eventually represented thoughtless superficiality.
Remember when they shut down their Canadian branch for unionizing?
The leftist infighting must’ve been intense.
