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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
It's crazy how Buzzfeed's entire online presence was propped up for 4 years by Shane and Ryan and their unsolved series
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.
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 RUclips 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.
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.
What an unbiased news source! I hope they don't, ya know, become political
@@TheThreatenedSwan *pulls the trigger*
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

And now Buzzfeed shuts down its news with lots of layoffs. This vid helps explain why
This is on point.
This is on point.
This is on point.
I went to college with a couple of the OG Buzzfeed RUclips 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.
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
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
No B.S. calling other men low testosterone betas gives me a good chuckle.

I feel like a big point is that tiktok took the niche that buzzfeed previously had. Considering how many times a week i have to choose wich kind of soup remembers me of my gf. The idea of buzzfeed isnt dead it just moved
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
This guy sounds like dream but slightly less gay
What does “slightly less gay” mean?
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.
I unironically enjoy buzzfeed videos.

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.
The Buzzfeed series where the guy would like outsmart cops is pretty cool
I did become a buzz feed fan due to buzz feed unsolved and tbh they were well made with great details to the case
Forgot to talk about buzzfeed unsolved :/ a buzzfeed gold mine that is now ending cuss the actual brains behind the content went out on their own
The best thing to come out of buzzfeed were those two guys who made buzzfeed unsolved, that shit was actually good high effort stuff
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
The beginning reminds me that I need to finish the American Psycho audio book
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.
Imagine if TMZ bought BuzzFeed and combined into the worst pile of infinity radioactive diarrhea
buzzfeed singlehandedly set back feminism decades
Remember when they shut down their Canadian branch for unionizing?
The leftist infighting must’ve been intense.
I do remember their period videos..
I was honestly impressed and not that grossed out by it.
Was informative of the looks I guess and taught many how expensive feminine hygiene was. Which is true.
You were impressed by a bloody tampon. Think about that.
@@Mike_Dubayou impressed that they weren’t shy to openly talk and show something that’s otherwise a shameful and silent treated and taboo topic.
You must think of bloody tampons frequently to leave that comment here. 💀
Don’t forget the role they played in pushing the discredited Steele Dossier.
I completely forgot Buzzfeed existed until right now.
I’m so happy all the good people from buzzfeed broke off to go do better things. Honestly so many of those people everyone loved on buzzfeed are 10x funnier and more interesting then they ever were on buzzfeed
BuzzFeed really started to tank when they started to shuffle shit around for shareholders.
That's basically the pivoting point of their downfall.
Unsolved mysteries is literally the only thing I watched unironically
Never forget when the TryGuys got their testosterone levels tested and they all were below normal levels for an 80 year old man.
Good for them (and their hair, and their hearts)
Your editing and use of stock footage and b roll adds so much to your videos.
Just one thing how do you mention buzzfeed and not bring up the unsolved series that seriously carried that entire brand for years and ryan and shane still have very avid fanbase

You forgot to mention Buzzfeed unsolved which is somehow enjoyable

But I feel like my answer should have realistically been Muammar Gaddafi
the only good thing that has buzzfeed involved is buzzfeed unsolved, but i gotta say that the only reason it shines is the editing and ryan & shane’s great personalities and great chemistry. If either one of them wasn’t on the channel, it wouldn’t be as good. If both of them weren’t on the channel, there’d be literally nothing buzzfeed is good for.
So glad Buzzfeed is on it's way out.
10:40 The pointing wojak insert left me in tears XD
I actually went on a date with a girl once and we talked a lot. The majority of the conversation was taken up by how obsessed she was with buzzfeed. Which after finding out I was completely uninterested however I WAS interested in finding out how a real live human being could not only like buzzfeed, but be a huge fan. Very odd
How many buzzfeed writers does it take to power an electric chair?
Ten but number four will shock you
That Buzzfeed intro sound activates my flight or fight response every time I hear it.
Me too Ulala from Sega's hit game Space Channel 5.
It is awfully grating now that I listened to it again. Maybe it’s a test to warn you about how annoying it is?
Buzzfeed unsolved went so hard though. Those two guys put a lot of work in to that series.
The only piece of buzzfeed content I'll watch is their ghost hunting show. It doesn't take itself too seriously, the hosts feed off each other, and the content isn't completely boring. Its not excellent or anything, but I do enjoy it
I liked the buzzfeed supernatural series tbh. Had some good memes, like “here there demons, it’s me, ya boi”

The fact that there was a point in my life where I may have watched a few of those edgy buzzfeed hate videos causes me physical pain m.
