'''Buzzfeed''' is a shitty linkbait advertising ploy masquerading as a "humor site", and one of the faggier things that has emerged out of the [[Web 2.0]] era. Not only is [[original content]] unheard of, but Buzzfeed actually takes it a step further by posting mainly "articles" that often consist solely of a few [[Tumblr]]-ripped pictures, or even just fucking [http://www.buzzfeed.com/jwherrman/50-smileys-youve-probably-never-seen#jbu9xb emoticons], and they are the reason we have the word "listicle", a Buzzfeed invention consisting of only a list, with very little writing to accompany it, a method inspired presumably by watching the autistic fundies at Conservapedia shout bible passages at random visitors, or maybe it's the other way round. | '''Buzzfeed''' is a shitty linkbait advertising ploy masquerading as a "humor site", and one of the faggier things that has emerged out of the [[Web 2.0]] era.

But that's not surprise. Buzzfeed's ability to churn out "Top 10" lists defies anything the internets have ever known before. The "writers" make completely meaningless and/or gratuitous nonsense lists all day like some sort of [[OCD]] housewife. At times it's funny because some of them are vaguely racist. Most of the time it's as [[unfunny]] as any [[Uncyclopedia]] joke. | But that's not surprise. Buzzfeed's ability to churn out "Top 10" lists defies anything the internets have ever known before.

Have you ever been on Cracked and thought to yourself, You know what would really make this place better? Having all the same bullshit articles, but instead of including that pesky text, why not just spam headers and gifs like a 9 year old learning a new swear word? No way,l that would be fucking retarded, you say? Too bad; not only does this exist, but some people even seem to find it funny.
Buzzfeed is a shitty linkbait advertising ploy masquerading as a "humor site", and one of the faggier things that has emerged out of the Web 2.0 era. Not only is original content unheard of, but Buzzfeed actually takes it a step further by posting mainly "articles" that often consist solely of a few Tumblr-ripped pictures, or even just fucking emoticons, and they are the reason we have the word "listicle", a Buzzfeed invention consisting of only a list, with very little writing to accompany it, a method inspired presumably by watching the autistic fundies at Conservapedia shout bible passages at random visitors, or maybe it's the other way round.
CEO bans all gamers over GamerGate
Few people in positions of power within the gaming press actually did anything about GamerGate. One of them was the owner of The Escapist who returned from his long absence of running 12 other websites he owns to inform everyone that gaming is not dead and to make all his retarded columnists apologize.
But one man took it a step further.
Jonah Peretti, CEO of Buzzfeed, announced that he will be firing everyone in his company that listed "Gamer" in their hobbies and convincing other CEO's to do the same.
This is akin to swatting a fly with a bazooka. But it's still better than everyone else who just sat on their thumbs instead of doing anything.
To date he insists that this is not a prank and he is 100% serious.
This Might Be The Most Fail Staff A Site Has Ever Had
The Buzzfeed staff is filled with sodomites like Christian Zamora, who authored the list "The 21 Most Important Celebrity Bulges of All Time" and "writes" for, you guessed it, Buzzfeed LGBT. Another "writer" is Lauren Yapalater, a Jewish female who masturbates daily to photos of Zac Efron and is utterly obsessed with him.
But that's not surprise. Buzzfeed's ability to churn out "Top 10" lists defies anything the internets have ever known before. The "writers" make completely meaningless and/or gratuitous nonsense lists all day like some sort of OCD housewife. At times it's funny because some of them are vaguely racist. Most of the time it's as unfunny as any Uncyclopedia joke.
3 Paragraphs (And A Statement) About The Content Of Buzzfeed
Buzzfeed is slightly more content-free than Uncyclopedia. It can be divided into lists, quizzes, and videos.
The vast majority of Buzzfeed "content" consists of lists of numbered headers with gifs placed underneath them. Of course, images just by themselves don't make any sense, nor do the headers. In vain attempts to look slightly more intelligent than a spambot, Buzzfeed lists entries sometimes try to describe their images, because being forced to deal with more text than a tweet is more than the poor average user's brain can handle. Thanks to the disjointed nature of the lists, reading them can be appropriately simulated by imagining a schizophrenic making a vaguely themed reaction image thread all by himself. These lists can be about a wide variety of topics that are all equally pointless. And whatever the fuck Tumblr is shitting its panties over. These lists often try to be funny or relatable by claiming to be about some number of problems or things, at least 100, that certain faggots can understand. Occasionally, there are lists about social justice. The only difference between these and other lists is that the usual faggots in the comment section are replaced by Feminazis slinging enlightened words of unrecognized brilliance which they know will one day change the world, and their white knight thralls whose only notable feature is that they are so desperate for pussy that they're willing to suck up under their real names. Yes, that's right, thanks to Facebook comments being more rampant on Buzzfeed than pedophilia in the Vatican, the geniuses who comment are completely fine with dropping dox on themselves while displaying their faggotry.
The second type of gruel served up at Buzzfeed can only be described as the bastard child of those retarded OK Cupid quizzes that were everywhere last Thursday, and a crack-addicted lemur who spends all their time on Tumblr. The typical quiz is like a list, only you can click on some of the items and at the end it tells you something meaningless and gives you a gold star for not being distracted by any shiny objects for thirty seconds. The quizzes are better designed than one would think, given the fact that they work at all, instead of taxing user brainpower by forcing them to track and total up their answers to get their results. Quizzes are thoughtfully organized and designed up to the same exacting standards as the lists, and make about the same amount of sense. Many of them also have the miraculous ability to give the same results for wildly different answers.
The third variety of crap in this shithole is videos. Take the same stuff found in lists and force people to sit still while they get spoon fed their inane bullshit in clips ranging in quality from My Immortal to Nickelback. Given the attention span of the average user, it should be no surprise that videos are the least popular thing on the site. Surprisingly, though, the comment sections of videos sometimes contain lulz, as this section attracts the same sort of users as youtube, meaning that it's not uncommon to find retards having slap fights over serious business.
