- In August 2015, Buzzfeed peaked with a massive 377,000,000 view month, these days, the channel barely gains 30,000,000 views a month, most of which coming from older established uploads. In the process, Buzzfeed has experienced less viewership, layoffs and pay-cuts, hinting at the rough seas that Buzzfeed happens to be sailing through. Many considered Ryan and Shane from Buzzfeed Unsolved to be the only thing keeping Buzzfeed afloat, with them gone, who knows what lies in the future for Buzzfeed?
This is, The Incredibly Satisfying Death of Buzzfeed.

The Unsolved series was the only thing keeping Buzzfeed relevant. Now that Ryan and Shane are gone and have their own channel, there’s nothing left for Buzzfeed.
even Buzzfeed Worth It have their own channels now
@@noxtorism are they still doing a “worth it” style thing? Those were my fave videos
@@pourin_er_nate not really, but its mostly about food content with the same crew except steven. steven is also working together with ryan and shane in the new channel and has his own series. they might still do worth it content for buzzfeed though i'm not entirely sure.
@@pourin_er_nate yeah but now it's on a channel named About to eat. But that's where the new season begins. Most of the old vids are still on buzzfeed
Spot on. There’s no show going that people are actually into anymore. It’s all dated now
I love how every single genuinely charismatic personality at Buzzfeed all had this unifying moment of looking at the company they worked for and being like "wait, _why_ do we need you again?"
It’s just an anti White channel that feeds off hatred towards Europeans
@@drdavinsky 🤡🤡🤡
@@jamespowers4783 projection
@@drdavinsky it's not really "anti white" It's more like they're being crazy 'feminists' trying to find a problem within everything.
@@hunnqy3102 Not even that. They're just a bunch of virtue-signaling grifters. They promoted themselves as a group that cared about underrepresented groups of people and giving them a platform, while in reality they only ever cared about making money. Just another filthy corporation. Good thing many people got out of that hellhole.
in my opinion the best “i quit buzzfeed and now i’m super successful” story is the one of quinta brunson. she went from making videos for buzzfeed to winning an emmy in just 4 years.
Now she was just on snl so proud of her ❤
Also the fact that her “why I left BuzzFeed” is literally on BuzzFeed's youtube channel
so happy for her ❤️ got what she truly deserves
But don't give her a vegan Philly cheesesteak she call it a cheesesteak. Just call it a sandwich.
Yes! Quinta's story is something else. She deserves this
I was completely shocked that Shane and Ryan remained on BuzzFeed for so long. They did exactly what everybody else did. They left BuzzFeed and started their own network: Watcher.
All hail the Watcher
All hail the watcher
And just today they have killed the channel
@ayandey137 yeah im pretty upset about that
One time I was reading a Buzzfeed thing and a few paragraphs seemed very relatable to me, like EXTREAMLY relatable. As if I lived through the exact thing they were talking about. Then it hit me, I did. I wrote that article. Turns out a Buzzfeed "writer" copy and pasted, word for word, a story I wrote on Reddit and passed it off as their own. Anyway that's also the day I learned that Copyright law is hardly ever enforced outside of academics (unless you got a boat load of money). Ya, Fuck you Buzzfeed.
😳 I would’ve blew the whistle! They’re a HUGE channel with millions of subscribers, I would’ve at least tried to get credit.
Do you have links to the article and the Reddit post?
@@tiffanymcdonald7195 unfortunately it would've just been looked at as clout chasing. Part of why they were so shameless was they could get away with it. 😒
You've got to provide details. That's a massive accusation, if true.
This is coming off as a lie. Make a video about it.
- try guys/ safiya left
-ryan and Shane left
- Kitchen and Jorn left
- lastly the cast of the cheap vs expensive left
All those people were the only people I would watch on buzzfeed.
than means we're no longer getting expensive taste test?? those are the only videos i watch from buzzfeed
The Worth It guys didn't leave. Buzzfeed has branched into so many fields - Tasty and the other channels are Buzzfeed owned, I think.
@@snsmystic Hasn’t Steven left Worth It? He owns the Watcher Entertainment channel with Ryan and Shane so I just assumed he’d left buzzfeed??
@@jade3886 Probably they meant Andrew, since he's still in Buzzfeed Tasty iirc. Steven is already left to join Unsolved crew, yeah.
@@jade3886 Steven did leave 2 years ago but he is still hired for seasonal worth it episode as a host, probably because they will lose a large audience if he isn't in the show anymore.
A year later and our dude CALLED IT.
Buzzfeed News has finally FALLEN!
What I hate about all this is that buzzfeed is still making money off me, bc I still go back and rewatch unsolved episodes
Edit: I didn't properly articulate my point here, which is that Ryan and Shane did all the work, the show was Ryan's idea, and it only did so well BECAUSE of their talent and on screen chemistry, but the IP belongs to buzzfeed, and buzzfeed gets to make all the money.
Also: I'm allowed to watch things I enjoy. I'm not huge on the ghost hunting, but I *love* their true crime format.
So don’t 🤷♂️ vote with your time. If we wanna change the best thing everyone can do is to stop buying into bad stuff. Or just watch it through a 3rd party sight.
Go watch the ghost files, they are made by the same Ryan and Shane in unsolved, their channel name is "Watcher"
Jesus loves you all and is coming back soon!
Believe in His death and resurrection and repent of your sins and be saved!
Remember that He died and rose up again for you to be in heaven with Him!
Have an amazing day ❤️❤😊❤❤

Hires mostly POC and LGBTQ employees, then lays them off and gets criticized for laying off mostly POC and LGBTQ employees is the most American thing to complain about lol
We need to uproot all of the “wokies” and send them to Iran, North Korea, china, Afghanistan….they will beg to be back.
It’s hilarious what is happening to that one black WNBA player over there right now, I bet she comes back wearing a whole ass American flag screaming the national anthem.
Also don't hate on a predominately white, overwhelming straight country when you produce "entertainment" that tells them they should feel shame for being white and/or straight.
Yeah, pretty much. I was gonna say, when you only hire certain group of people for being poclgbt (which is illegal. Cannot discriminate against AND/or in favor of race, age, gender, etc.) and you have to fire the least productive/necessary of course it's going to be mostly poclgbt because they were only hired because of that identity in the first place not because of their productivity and necessity. And it's not necessarily an "American" thing. It's a western liberal thing. Or conservative in Europe. Cause apparently political views in europe are like the difference in which sides of the roads we drive. I literally saw a European and an American arguing saying, American: "that's what the left is doing" Europe: "no it's the right." And they're literally talking about the same people and neither realized it. Which was actually kinda funny. Kinda like the soccer vs football argument.
Just say "colored people" at that point. It's literally the same shit.
@@screwgoogle4993 Colored people = normie speak. POC = woke speak,
Buzfeed is:
- Not serious enough to be a news source.
- Not funny enough to be an entertainment company.

The Onion pulls off funny news way better than Buzzfeed ever did.
I used to watch and enjoy buzzfeed so much. It was one of the first channels I watched in English. I am a woman “of color” but I couldn’t bear their hatred towards white men so I left years ago. Happy to hear that natural selection still is effective 😂
Arabs are not POC
I left when they got politically toxic, I’m very mad at how they enabled the tension to rise here in the US. Very disgusted and very upset with those my age who fell for it. It was awkward trying to take a classmate seriously when she did the mansplaining stunt, juvenile is a compliment to describing these wackos.

I wanted Buzzfeed to die horribly ever since the 35 feminist questions video. To this day I can't get past 10 questions without quitting out of sheer frustration
From that "hiring" tweet alone. Buzzfeed deserves all the shit it's getting
If that's your hiring process, probably shouldn't be something you are making public. Just makes you so unlikable
Like seriously, how hard is it to say "we would like many diverse employees" or something instead of dragging someone's entire identity?
@@ahaha5057 literally bro, just say like, diverse employee are encouraged to join! Or something simple like that which doesn’t completely discriminate against another group.
Also is a violation for the discrimination act, employers are not supposed to hire/not hire you based on race, gender or sexual orientation. Which in one comment alone seemed to do just that.
I don’t get why companies haven’t learned that whenever your alienate a group of people it doesn’t go well. Whenever a company has racist policies or put certain races/ethnicities/sexual identities in a poor light they are publicly outed and in some way it hurts their bottom line. Why would they think that putting out a public letter essentially saying they hated straight white men and that they have nothing important to say would be a good idea? Sure, there will be a small, and I mean small, group of people that would be like “how progressive!” Most people would look at that very negatively. Every friend or acquaintance of mine that is a POC is sick and tired of the white bashing, but they’re all mostly conservative thinkers. You’d think that after seeing tv show after tv show, movie after movie that is race baiting or tries to put a divide in the races absolutely flop they’d get they idea. I mean Seth Rogans stupid Santa show, Everything is going to be all white are prime examples of what not to do. People are tired of the division. I live in a very diverse area and what Hollywood tries to make it out to be is nothing like real life. They want division.
Buzzfeed has been perpetually stuck in the humor that was relatable to a particular group of tumblr and Instagram users in 2014

If you hire based on peoples race and gender and sexuality, when you end up dismissing those people you'll end up looking like the company you thought you hated.
People like Buzzfeed need to remember that you don't fight bigotry by being bigoted. It doesn't justify hate to be in reaction to more hate. It just adds more total hate to the world.
Don’t tell that to the left, all of their tactics would cease functioning.
My funniest memory of buzzfeed is how the Try Guys threw Keith an extravagant bachelors party with the company's money and then dipped out.
Where is that video, I want to see it
@@Jaxv3r th-cam.com/video/BLvbtXzGI48/w-d-xo.html Honestly a great entertaining video, I'm a fan of the Try Guys. Makes sense for their success.
@@Jaxv3r just look up try guys bachelor party, its a good one.
I remember when each member of try guys got checked for their level of testosterone and we found out that they each had the amount of testosterone found in 80-year-olds. I also remember the asian one who had the most of the four (not much) coming out as gay in the most pretencious way possible: by making an overpaid music video about him being gay. Im glad buzzfeed is burning
@@batmanneedssome200 this is your reason for hating buzzfeed?
Try Guys, Worth It, and Unsolved were Buzzfeed’s peak and why I watch their channel regularly. I’m happy that they all branched out and made content for their own.
I’m honestly amazed they were allowed to keep the same branding like “Try Guys” and stuff after leaving Buzzfeed
i never watched any of this and only saw the comedy sketches. They were pretty terrible as well.
Same. I loved them when i saw them in buzzfeed for the first time and it was so satisfying with the fact that they decided to leave and make their channel.

@@ellabiddy4741 Same! Their almost rebrand was crazy to think about when Ned shared the names they almost had to turn to
In 2016, Brazil was hosting the olympics. We were very worried as we knew there wasn't enough budget to host it and faced a lot of political issues (actually, we face till this day). Still, Brazil managed to present a breathtaking opening, with lots of references and history of its people. It was amazing, we were very proud. Then there was this post of buzzfeed one day later... It was something named like "Sorry Brazil, but the opening wasn't as good as the last ones". The post was a unfair comparision between our opening and many others, where most of the time they were discrediting Brazil and overvaluing others. I was shocked they basically made a list of "olympic's moments there were better than brazil's, according to some stupid writer point of view", and they still posted it. The comment section were all against them, and I thing they deleted it. But anyways, that moment was when I realized how shitty they were.
I’m a straight white man. I used to like buzzfeed videos. But then they started hating on me for NO REASON. I understand standing up against sexism, racism, and homophobia. But hating on everyone that’s not one of those people is rediculous. It’s not standing behind those people to hate on the other side, it’s just being a pathetic hater. They should have talked about everyone being more accepting if that’s the message they wanted to go for, but hate only breeds hate and they deserve what’s happened to them
I find it pretty comical that there's women out there with such hostility toward men. It would take almost nothing at all to flip a switch and have them all turned into decorations. Men built everything they take for granted. We don't even need civilization; they do.
I'm not saying we're better, but our evolutionary traits make it so that we'll win a war 10 times out of 10 against them. It seems unwise to provoke us.
Or they should have just not gotten political at all and stuck to what their original content was. I dipped out as soon as it became clear that the company was being led by Neo-Marxists.
The DIY side of Buzzfeed (Nifty, Goodly, BFF, Junior etc) were soulless content farms. They stole ideas and formats from indie TH-cam creators during time 2013-2017 and basically bulldozed the DIY community by putting out content at a pace no individual could keep up with. Witnessing their inevitable demise is, indeed, incredibly satisfying.
Agreed! I hope other DIY content farms, especially accounts like Troom Troom, will also soon meet the same fate
I like no one is coming to invade the comments and complain about the harm buzzfeeed did to white people. Lol so theft ehh but clickbait titles against white people and men ahhhhh lol
It’s just an anti White channel that feeds off hatred towards Europeans. My page is about anti White guilt
One example is Anne Reardon (amazing pastry chef and food scientist) who in 2015 was still doing straightforward baking techniques on youtube: she came up with a way of making sugar domes after a lot of experimentation of which every (messy and potentially kitchen destroying) step was shown on youtube. I'm not sure it took even a month for Buzzfeed to just copy her entire finished process, and pass it off as their own.
not just small indie creators either, for a couple years after safiya left they were remaking so many of her videos and slightly changing some details of her original concepts so it wouldn't be 100% plagiarized. the amount of comments calling them out under these videos was hilarious tho
I always found it so weird how the only Buzzfeed content I would consume would eventually leave the channel. I guess I understand why now.
It's quite simple: the people that left didn't need Buzzfeed; Buzzfeed needed them.

7:45 is the reason I hate BuzzFeed. How is it not seen as sexism when someone literally says all men are trash and should be thrown in the garbage? I understand that women are the group who have to deal with the most sexism, but that Dosent mean that statements like that shouldn’t be considered sexism towards men. But for some reason I barley saw anyone call them out on that statement when it happened
Buzzfeeds racial preference hiring is disgusting and I do not understand how they don't see the hypocrisy in it. Its extremely racist and sexist, people shouldn't be selected upon their skin colour or gender, instead it should be their competence and skills.
That’s just the far left mindset i’m afraid. They claim they try to fight racism and yet somehow become racist themselves.
Leftists are allergic to the word competence... All the care about is Identity politics
It became more accepted in western society after George Floyd. Everyone lost their damn minds.
buzzfeed’s goal was to give a platform and a voice to marginalized groups. they wanted to make content for a majority of people to relate to. you saying that this effort makes buzzfeed racist is a ridiculous claim and says a lot about the entitlement and privilege that surrounds non-marginalized groups.
it's a reverse apartheid.
Buzzfeed never deserved Shane and Ryan. Never. Good for them to make their own channel, they're on a tier all on their own

Usually, the fall of a TH-camr is sad, but this is different. The content is so cringy that it's actually deserved. It's insane how they actually got 20M+ subscribers when all they do nowadays is post clickbait trash.
I only liked the ones where the guy got hunted and two dudes talk about paranormal. Even those were only mediocre/ decent
Buzzfeed unsolved was the paranormal one
Other than that it was dumb gen z political crap to get clicks. Least from what ive seen

The way they treated all the women of Ladylike was prime example how toxic the environment was there.
fill me in! what did they do?
@@samseery1595 Well, from my knowledge, after Safiya left, their production budget was all over the place, yet the creativity depended on copying their former staff team writer. Eventually, as each personality left, the ideas got less entertaining
They actively ignored Kristin and Jen’s mental health concerns in order to send them on shoots that took place across the country
@@samseery1595 If you go to Kristin & Jenn's channel, Kitchen & Jorn, they do a video where Kristin explains how badly she felt/was treated while filming the empty suitcase series.

Lesson learned from Buzzfeed and Bud Light: "Never play identity politics, Never trash majority of the region's population if you are planing to conduct business there!"
IE treat people with basic respect and dignity. It's actually not that difficult
Ryan and Shane were the only thing keeping me watching buzzfeed, the second they left to their new channel I subscribed to the watcher and forgot all about buzzfeed
Ryan and Shane almost threw their backs out singlehandedly alone carrying buzzfeed those years. they were too good for Buzzfeed.

Since she wasn't really mentioned in the video, special mention to Safiya Nygaard, one of the biggest post buzzfeed success stories. She was part of Lady Like and left without that brand becoming hugely successful under her own name.
Quinta has a successful TV show now!
@@hiltonvillegas951 Wow I knew Quinta looked so familiar. I couldn't quite place it because as a young teen I've always tried my best to stay away from that cancerous channel lmfao.
Yes I remember following lady like. I was bummed when saf left but saw how much she grew and actually enjoyed her solo content…I realized she was probably being silenced while in buzzfeed and when she left could tell how much she contributed to the company…glad she got out when she did now. She was not creatively free in buzzfeed.
same goes with Michelle khare
I’m honestly surprised he didn’t mention Saf. She has more subscribers than both Watcher and The Try Guys (who are obviously both excellent) almost combined and I’d honestly say she has the greatest post-Buzzfeed success story. I don’t really like her content personally, but leaving Buzzfeed and then continuing to get several millions of views per video even 5 years later is insane. She’s really made a brand for herself.
Like many people, I got hooked on Buzzfeed Unsolved and the chemistry between Ryan and Shane around four years ago and then binged all their previous content, and watched a few of the other programs. When they split to do Watcher, I gave the new people a chance. They failed dreadfully. Not because the talent was bad but because they were obviously being coached to copy Ryan and Shane's formulas. They were actually re-covering the same material in most cases. The same haunts, the same cases.
Great points and video essay. But I'm super impressed with the editing and visuals. Fantastic job
"Ugh, white men" really just describes BuzzFeed in general, you need not say more. Any group that acts discriminatory to any group of people will fail eventually, they always do
BuzzFeed: we hate racists
Also BuzzFeed: Ugh, white men
Guess they hate themselves almost as much as I hate them.
Good riddance, fuck BuzzFeed.
@@elliott7268 its funny how people act like white men are the only ones who committed atrocities in human history
I think the worst part was it was all an act. They would make posts joking about white men, but by all accounts their leadership was mostly.... white men. So the channel was white men complaining about white men to rile up white men 🤔

Outrage makes the most money. What do you expect from a content farm whose logo is their own stock rising in value?
One of the biggest reasons to falling off pretty much is that type of content not generating enough controversy anymore.
@@eightcoins4401 I really think you’re spot on with that. And outrage absolutely makes money
It's exactly why I stopped watching their content. I'm a guy in the Midwest and used to enjoy their content but over the years it started to feel like they hated everyone in my part of the country, then it started to become blatantly obvious the hated my part of the country. It's been satisfying watching them die.

I'm back here now that Buzzfeed News has shut down! Long day coming, that's for sure.
One of the biggest mistakes Buzzfeed did was expanding to countries with no intrinsic identity or culture of their own. Australia is probably the biggest example, they started off writing about fairy bread and bunnings sausage, and then found out there is nothing else so they just made slightly different articles on fairy bread and bunnings sausage.
That canada hiring process is absolutely bonkers. The fact that tweet was publicly and unapologetically made is absolutely unbelievable to me

If only they didn’t bring in such a strong political ideology.

I feel like something about this video is going to happen again except with ScreenRant. I'd love to see how ScreenRants views dropped after the Pitch Meetings videos got moved to their own channel. There's only so long you can thrive off of articles like, "Why did Thanos throw Gamora off the cliff?" and then it's just literally a recap of the main plot.
I love it when someone is not a "racist" but still is racist against white men. 😂
well techniacally you cant be racist to a white person because racism is built upon the idea of white people as supressors. It is still prejiduce tho
The fact that that racist misandrist rant of a recruitment notice went uncheck and had no consequences really shows everyone how far gone they were. Like regardless of how much one hates another, there is a bare minimum standard of professionalism that is required.

Unsolved is pretty entertaining, the jokes they make in the middle of each episode were pretty funny, especially to get a breather from the dark topic they're tackling.

Since nobody has mentioned it in the comments, I felt especially bad for creators like Kelsey, who ran the 100 babies Sims 4 challenge for buzzfeed, who couldn't stop their series simply because of what their content was.
She most likely had her contract pretty much finished, but she loved her series. She wouldn't have been able to continue it on her main channel due to ownership issues, but because it was a challenge series, she really wanted to see it through, ending with her staying way longer than her friends. I'm glad Kelsey and the rest got out in the end, and I hope it serves as a warning for anyone working in Buzzfeed now to save their creativity for where its truly appreciated!
Kelsey got way more exposure and an automatic audience for sharing her Sims challenge on an already established channel like Buzzfeed (and the 100 Baby challenge wasn’t her own original idea btw, lots of people have done the 100 baby challenge before her). She has been able to move that content to a new channel and maintain her audience, so I’d argue she got way more out of the deal than Buzzfeed ever did.
@@trollisourbriteeggs6282 Shes not saying its anyone's fault. She's just saying its sad Kelsaey wasn't able to leave earlier than she would have wanted.
@@trollisourbriteeggs6282 I'm not here to argue about the actual reason. Only Kelsey will know the actual situation. I'm just simply stating what OP specifically said. Hope you have a good rest of the day/night and cheers.
Nah i remember kelsey herself saying that the only reason she stayed at buzzfeed was because she likes being with her friends, but since the pandemic, she was doing everything alone at home, which is the exact same if she made a content of her own, which was why she left
Kelsey is with 2nd try now I believe. And part of one of my fave pods guilty pleasures.
That last line summed up the fall perfectly.
A year later their stock price is $0.33
The only thing that was carrying Buzzfeed for a real long time was Buzzfeed Unsolved, and now that that series has sadly come to an end, Buzzfeed has just become dead in the water.

There is another.

Tasty is also certainly carrying buzzfeed.
I love how they were trying to lift up anti racism/sexism while being outright racist and sexist in their qualifications
Seriously, I remember learning about the Jim Crow era in history class and thinking "how can people treat other humans that way without feeling bad or getting called out for it"? 20 years later, I understand how things can get to that point, because I've seen it firsthand. People legitimately believe that they are doing the right thing by being racist and sexist.
The irony....
In the end, they’re both the same just with different circumstances. If they were in the 1900s, they’d probably be the people discriminating against POC and such.
@@Allustar that's the thing that fuckin annoys me about SJWs dredging up shit from decades ago as "problematic" as if the cultural consciousness was the exact same as it is now. How can you sit in judgement of someone when the prevailing mentality was one of prejudice? It's a good thing it changed, but it seems like they don't recognize their own potential of expressing discriminatory behavior, like they'd be any better if they were a straight white man in the 50s with a fifth grade education and his only sources for information being newspapers, the radio and his pastor.
It's not diving into the sources in a way that's empathetic and strives to make people change their viewpoints. It's literally just a campaign of silencing dissent.

Never forget when people on Tumblr found out that edits on their posts would show up in Buzzfeed articles. People were replacing their original texts with their Paypals and Amazon wishlists, and one person took it upon themselves to ruin the format of an article completely by spamming 50 images of T-pose Waluigi.
50 t-posing Waluigis sounds like it'd be a more interesting commentary on current social political climates than anything Buzzfeed has ever produced.
Thank U for this sacred knowledge
7:55 imagine if the same thing was said except replaced with "black" and "women." How is this blatant racism not being called out?
Ignorance, that's why
It was. Hence the countless people calling it out and ongoing decline of Buzzfeed.
Aged like fine wine.
I think anything based on what is trendy as its main source of value will eventually NOT be the trend. I think the key is adapting your brand and strategy with the times and having the humility and awareness to pivot when the audience dictates that they no longer are intrigued & entertained by your content. These videos are very informative and always keep my attention. Great job @SunnyV2
This!!!
Hey its you again!
Business GENIUS
If those videos always kept your attention you have to be 13 lol BuzzFeed was nothing but a bunch men trying to be straight by acting sexist and thinking since their BuzzFeed they're right but that's what you get when you get a bunch of people who our educated but have no common sense lol
I'm a trend, I set one every time I'm in
I go out and just come back, full circle again
You a fad, that means you somethin' that we already had
They really weren't kidding with the quote "go woke, go broke".

hello garou pfp dude
@KamilS You really need to calm down over a harmless statement
How the hell did a just some guy with a mustache comment turn to a war between the rights and lefts
Now it's shutting down for real. Good.
And now the end has come.
When you start a channel with a neutral stance and once you take a side over something sensitive, it'll alienate the other side or the other side will take it personally.
It seems they went so far they even alienated parts of the side they chose.
No wonder why their videos are not even on trending tabs oftenly
They didn't start with a neutral stance though. In fact, most outlets like them deliberately pick a side from the start, that way they quickly find the intended audience & get clicks from people searching out confirmation bias.
Many people don't look for real news & accurate info, they just look for someone to tell them what they WANT to hear. Buzzfeed was doing that at the start, but continued to shoot themselves in the foot. They became a pariah, and were only left with other extremist people caring about their content.
Pretty much BUT there's a way to take a side without being cringey and insulting about it. Buzzfeed became insulting, cringey and ill-informed and not only towards the "bad guys" but also towards the people they were allegedly advocating for by using bad research and choosing to talk about small obscure things rather than big things with more impact. Their "living without black inventions" video could have been spectacular, except it was half wrong, poorly researched, and bizarrely ignored very impactful inventions by black people in favor of silly ones or ones that weren't really a unique or innovative invention.
@@fablesguykol3025 no, the side they took is well known to not support anything catering to them but would rather impose it on others.
I'm astonished that Buzzfeed evaluated themselves to be worth $1.5 billion, only to receive 1% of that. The arrogance.
agreed.

@Nisa Suharni Bruh wtf
People being surprised that early internet celebrities/channels eventually fade into irrelevancy is mind-blowing.
Who knew being blatantly racist and sexist towards white men while hiring people would ultimately backfire. Who thinks saying those things is a good business strategy
For real, the failing of Buzzfeed actually gave me some hope for society and put a spring back in my step. What a load of utter garbage.
Right as you say that a bot replies.
Scariest part is that there were definitely people eating that stuff up. Far left liberals are a cancer on society.
@@lionelruiz3247 far spectrum anything is a cancer. those people are not rational thinkers, hence why they end up radicalized anyways
@@benjames7932 Agreed but let's be real, there's only one side that's socially acceptable, and that's liberalism. Buzzfeed was allowed to fester because far left ideologies are what our society has turned a blind eye to. Speaking against them makes you a bigot, sexist, racist etc.
I don't know why it's so hard to comprehend how comments like "throw all men in the dumpster" actively hurts the feminist/anti-patriarchy movement by actively antagonizing potential allies. Militant behavior begets militant behavior.
It just shows us it’s a joke of a company of a person working for a reputable company either left or right wing said something so ignorant they be fired
This is why I despise rad-fems. You know, on top of the transphobia.
Entirely agree. Stating they want diversity in the team so that the writing can reflect various life experiences is fine. Actively insulting people is never fine. It doesn't "fix history" it's childish.
honestly, I used to watch some buzzfeed in 2018 and I really liked it I used to watch every episode of unsolved, they had a nice show that was about normal/expensive/luxurious things that was really dope too imo and there was this one scripted show with Quinta Brunson that lives rent free in the basement of my head that I cant remember the name but was also nice
Worth it was always my favourite thing to watch and I still do from time to time.
The chemistry b/w Steven, Andrew and Adam is spot on and they are the only reason I’m still subbed to BuzzFeed
For transparency, I'm a 47-year-old who started in journalism around 1994 while I was studying genetics. The degree done, I just stayed a journalist because it was an amazing world to be in. Despite the reputation, we had standards - very tough standards. To even get in as a basic news slave, you had to have a degree as well as one of the top 4 marks in the national exam - a six-hour exam that grilled your knowledge of politics, people, news sense and intellectual vigour. Since those days, I've had a 20-year career, variously linked to the media. Then it all seemed pointless, once Buzzfeed got big. What's the point of trying, when information is a commodity fronted by personalities and packaged by marketers? It sucks, but you can't say it sucks because you're in your 40s. So... here we are, everyone finally knows it sucks. Slow power to the people.
Wow. As an aspiering journalist this is kinda upsetting to read.
Journalism is such a joke. 😢
@@irishswtpea No no, journalism is highly respectable. The issue here is that journalism had it's knee caps broken, was curb stomped, and then shot 46 times in the back while on the ground.
@@atashgallagher5139 GOOD journalism is respectable. The actual problem today is that every single profession and job is being moved to a digital world where quite literally anyone can pick up a cell phone or log into a computer and make a blog. Delusional people feed into the often times nonsense ramblings of these people and add to / fuel their ideologies no matter how goofy they may be. As the commented said, it used to be a rigorous application process to ensure that you were GOOD at gathering and reporting information. Nowadays people read misinformation on Twitter and go on an entire campaign about it.
I literally cannot imagine wanting to become a journalist nowadays... it is literally one of the most looked down occupations of all, next to loan shark and politician.
I've always felt that BuzzFeed had a very shallow and anti-intellectual view of feminism. Something about the way they drooled over hot guys felt performative: they weren't doing it because they actually liked hot guys; it was a deliberate "let's objectify males" statement, and therefore less honest. The way Qweerty drools over hot guys feels less creepy, because they're doing it for real.
This is my issue. Im a staunch believer in feminism as a male but Buzzfeed always gave the impression their ultimate aim was to create an 'us and them' mentality between sexes which is the exact thing feminism is trying to stop. their bizarre self deprication for their own race and fixation on negatives always portrayed a really angry, hate filled toxic mentality.
@@J8D2 "Us and them" is a good description, yes.
looks like you discovered "modern feminism"
Not only that, despite feminism being an act for fighting stereotypes and generalisation, they use a disgusting amount of it as a means of demonising men.
Probably because they do not believe in what they preached. It's a business at the end of the day.
I learned about and read the Steel dossier from Buzzfeed. As a actual analyst I thought it was very underwhelming, often missing the 5 w’s. The Buzzfeed coverage was very slighted and killed their credibility to any actual professional.
I used to visit Buzzfeed religiously every day, right up until I started to hate absolutely everything about the website. Can't say I feel sorry to hear them struggling now.
I started paying serious attention with Steven lim’s “worth it” series, found Ryan and Shane’s “unsolved” and promptly left the buzzfeed circle when hearing my favorite creators were working together to make the watcher channel.
So glad that the three guys still make top quality videos without buzzfeed’s cringey reputation that really didn’t suit them at all.
To me they were the ones that carry the entire buzzfeed
To be fair, they did carry most of buzzfeed at some point.
Some to note:
- Buzzfeed Unsolved branched out to another channel and even then, Ryan and Shane are focusing on Watcher now.
- Worth It now has their latest season on About To Eat.
- The Try Guys quit buzzfeed and became producers on their own channel now
- Multiple names have left the company entirely and started their own channels
- Tasty is also cut off from Buzzfeed for the most part with Rie and co. still running it well
unsolved was the best
@@randomdudehereandthere2445 not really tho. worth it show got way more views which intern gave them way more money. then theres also try it guys. but undoubtedly unsolved series the the best even though it didnt come as high as worth it.
so the worth it guys left buzzfeed? didn't even know
I think BuzzFeed will be a lesson on why focusing on identity politics will never be a reliable entertainment strategy. At first it'll point inequality, but eventually once u run out of problems to talk about, u will eventually have to contrive new ones which may lead to more views, but a worse and worse reputation. BuzzFeed did this to themselves. I have no sympathy for them. If anything they should've become a platform which helped promote new creators but instead they're just a stepping stone for content creators who split off and make their own channel once they get an audience.

So, as a person who's been in a few Buzzfeed videos whos most popular video is about why Buzzfeed isn't great, i just wanted to share a few things.
Firstly, the idea of creating content directed at marginalized identities is a very good thing on its own. There is and has always been a need for content that is directed at people who aren't often spoken to. The problem, however, is that Buzzfeed, at its core is about, as you said, creating clickable titles that are relatable and often facile. THAT is something that doesn't lend itself to actually creating good content. It HAS to be bombastic, it HAS to upset you. It HAS to be stupid because unfortunately that's what people click on. People are more likely to click on "Here's Why Straight Men Are Cancelled" than "A Deep Discussion About How Heterosexism Negatively Impacts Us All". Both may seem like annoying titles, but one of them is going to get more traffic and again, that's their goal.
You are very right to point out that a lot of marginalized creators were dropped because their content wasn't making views. When Buzzfeed approached me for a residency, the sales pitch they gave me was that I would be able to have the resources that I didn't have to create the things I really wanted to create. That isn't a sales pitch that acknowledges the reality of Buzzfeed, which is that they have to make an income and unfortunately, the content that most marginalized minorities want to create isn't profitable; at least within the way that Buzzfeed presents it, which is often in a very shallow, annoying way.
Buzzfeed never paid me, and I never asked them to, but when other people like myself who were helping Buzzfeed come up with ideas for content (that was never made) asked about being paid for what was essentially a consultation for their company, we were told that they didn't have to budget to do so. That was incredibly telling. Buzzfeed seeks out people who are looking for a come up who are willing to work for less or for free and I think it's very worth pointing out that while many people's vision of what Buzzfeed was is that they were this hard left leaning company that irrationally supported everyone who wasn't white, cis or male, the reality was very very very different. The reality was that these were often the people who weren't being paid under the guise that they should be thankful for the opportunity to work for Buzzfeed.
When my video went live and the conversation around the firing of their Diversity team was going viral, one of the main people at Buzzfeed (not mentioning names for legal reasons) had a meeting with the entire remaining staff and reiterated to them that they are, as he said "like his wife: replaceable". THAT is the true soul of the people at the helm of the company. In short, they are very very very far from what they present which is why so many of your favorite creators and figures from Buzzfeed left in a very public way. They are a very heartless, exploitative company.
Damn. Sorry they used your work without paying you. That’s just messed up. Thanks for exposing them for the heartless company they are.
Absolutely right. The opening statements that somehow targeting relatable content at specific marginalized groups is what is actually racist/sexist because it excludes, ya know, white people is a failed argument. Especially in an entertainment hellscape like the internet/youtube where the biggest and most profitable creators often follow the trends of “mainstream” media. Truthfully, it made me not want to watch the rest of this video. It feels poorly researched and biased.
@@wander.1ost I will say that I have a smidge of patience for white creators who don't understand this stuff because they are so accustomed to being fed things that are created with them in mind that they feel very alienated by things that aren't created explicitly for them. It's a childish reaction, but it's one of the sort of people who haven't sat down and thought about it in a real way. The reality is Buzzfeed's format didn't lend itself to creating content that was framed in an honest and productive way. Because profit was the focus, they would often create content with the majority in mind without actually thinking of providing things for the communities they were discussing. Which is why so often you'd see content targeting and criticizing white men specifically. You don't need that to uplift black folks, but when you're solely uplifting black folks in a way distinctly established for the black gaze, their wide audience of predominately white people doesn't care. Since Buzzfeed started, there are so many black centered platforms that don't even come close to considering a white person's opinion/feelings when they're discussing their own culture and a lot of those channels are getting more views than Buzzfeed's ever gotten. To be fair though, they've been better about this themselves with creating things like Cocoa Butter, which creates relatable black centered content for black people and those videos are successful, but also not as successful as the videos that angered white people. I think people greatly underestimate the power of outrage.
After reading this comment from you I feel like I can exhale because wow this video was a lot. I couldn't even muster the energy to write a thoughtful response because I felt so drained. Like @leibudgetslife I struggled to get through the end of this. Thank you for taking the time to share this information with us.
I hope you quit.
I discovered BuzzFeed when I was entering college a decade ago. I remember all of those clickbait titles & thinking that seems interesting... but then I noticed almost immediately that the virtue signaling & incessant need to be a victim was at an all time high. It was so uncomfortable to watch their videos. I'm happy that they crashed & burned the way they did because they spent YEARS pitting people against each other. It's unfortune for their actual good series' they had on the channel but at least a number of them have been able to branch off & find success on their own. BuzzFeed needs to hit the grave, never to be reawakened. Sensational video SunnyV2!
Somebody call the EMT.
Funny seeing you here.
Irrespective, of ideological leanings, I think people grow tired of polarizing content. Not every problem to challenge in life is meant to be filtered thru a political perspective - it is mentally exhausting.
@@RealRyanSecord clown
That would happen in like the next 20 years seeing that every corporation for some reason still survived because of desperation tactics to keep them from dying. To hasten it up, someone needs to cut that off or someone replace whoever is in charge and then cut it off.
It is crazy to think about how many youtubers I know and have watched that now are no longer with buzzfeed. I loved how on watcher in puppet history often times the guest stars where other former buzzfeed employees
Who came here after hearing Buzzfeed is finally shutting down?
not ALL buzzfeed
Ryan and Shane show was the only one last thing that buzzfeed had… they left and now there’s nothing buzzfeed can offer.
It’s sad, I used to love buzzfeed when Ashly, Quinta, Sara, Safiya, etc were there. They did cool, relatable and funny videos. Now it’s horrible
Damn Ashly was there since waaay back. I loved the Ashley video where she sings with Taylor Swiftt. Such a classic imo i need more people to recognize that Gem of a videos
I was once in a “Diversity in America” class in college. The class had to split up into “diverse” groups for a group project. The group I was in had a French Canadian exchange student, a German exchange student, a light completed Mexican American, an Irish track athlete, and a British exchange tennis player…our professor split us up because our group was “too white” despite several of our members being from different countries and even being ESL. Thats not even taking into consideration the different gender identities, socio economic situations, and sexual orientations.
TLDR; not all “white” people are the same either.
No, and not are all people of color. Have you even considered the various levels of diversity when you lump all people of color into one group? Or even the idea of lumping all Black People or all Asians together? We all are diverse even within our society-created racial groups.
I wish people would wake up to this leftist fucking bullshit rhetoric…it is disgusting and that’s putting it nicely.
@@checktheweather No shit. But that's not what the person you commented under was talking about.
You were all from Christian countries. Most of them being Catholic. You shared the same christian values. Even if you were not religious, your civilization was build on that basis. I think your teacher was right. You were not diverse enough.
@@mirabella69 Huh? That makes 0 sense. A large chunk of the world is christian or catholic. That has nothing to do with race or skin color. It's very rude of you to say something like that.

the age of buzzfeed was such a confusing time for little ol' impressionable me. i fell into their hashtag woke politics vids then i jumped ship for the "haha crazy sjw woman libs mad" crowd when that started to be the cool thing. im older and (hopefully) a bit wiser now and can say that in the end, the makers of both kinds of those videos were so incredibly toxic and absolutely not worth mingling with at all :p
Kinda refreshing isn't it? Something very similar happened to me
I usually try to sit far away from all of it and try to look at from a bird's eye/generalist view. Maybe I shouldn't, but most of the time, I just end up laughing no matter what.
It feels good to not be on either side of the extremes
Omg me too
Yes same, i liked it at first but the more I learned and grew up the less I liked it
I’m like honestly embarrassed for loving BuzzFeed when I was a young teen. They used to have fun articles I enjoyed reading and then just one day it became strange and highly political in a very extreme and laughable way that isn’t entertaining. It felt like a joke that took away from actual issues.
i hated them before it was cool.

I hated them from day one, people want to create diversity by heading it with DIVISION.
Get Woke, Go Broke 🤷🏻♂️
I stopped with buzzfeed when I saw them post a article encouraging grown woman to go online and troll random men on twitter for fun proclaiming its empowerment and helps feminism.
What a awful thing to relate feminism too. These clowns are doing more damage to the movement than good. F* ck buzzfeed.
I'm just glad that a lot of people (men and women) in the comment sections where telling this author that trolling men online isn't feminist and isn't empowerment. But that's Buzzfeed for you
I fail to see how harrassing random men online is gonna help women's issues.. and I wasn't the only one..
I feel bad for feminism because so many clowns latch themselves on it and make it look bad when it's not bad
Only reason I EVER went on the buzz feed website was when I was so mind-numbingly bored that the quizzes seemed a little fun. But even then 9/10 times I’d rather just be bored
How did i just realise the unsolved guys made their own channel? I guess theres a couple good things about buzz feed, they gave people a name and they gave us a place to find those people. Buzz feed sort of brought good creators together for us to watch their different content on one channel.

Man that string of tweets attacking men (specifically white men) was really unsettling to read... and that's coming from a black man. It's just blatantly discriminatory and I can't see how it's acceptable when the contrary would have the entire country's blood boiling ("we don't want to hear from POC or women. We only want white men to apply").
I'd rather be judged on the quality of my writing instead of being judged on the quality of my black writing. For Social Justice Warriors to admire MLK so much, they sure did miss his "judged for the content of your character" bit, didn't they?
Skin color doesn't matter, only your skills, your heart and your mind. Improve yourself and nothing will stop you from achieving great things.
In my opinion, there are a lot of deranged people out there, whose twisted rants and points of view get a free pass just because they're advocating (directly or indirectly) for a specific cause that happens to be pushed by the mainstream media, for one reason or another. It's basically the worst mix of self-righteousness, virtue signaling and arrogance. I feel BuzzFeed self-destructed mostly because the company let those type of people take control.
Yeah..people are getting too agressive with race things related. We should all calm down..like we are all made of flesh and blood, there's no difference. We are all people.
as a black, latina, female and queer person, i fricking agree with you.
Both sides suck anyways
Buzzfeed's biggest problems as a company in summary:
- no focus or direction in the production
- unprofessional and risky budget management
- detachment from the viewers
- lack of care and loyalty to their employees.
That buzzfeed canada sums up both of the company and canadian stereotype in one
