It tastes pretty bland and artificial to me. For example, this [1] post is fluffy in the most aesthetically offensive, buzzfeedy way:
* It doesn't link back to Reddit
* There's no context
* It's glib, impersonal and bland
* It has an unnecessary illustration
* It adds nothing to the original content
Contrast this with what I presume is a comment from Tom Hanks about what his perfect sandwich is. That's meaningful.

- meowface 11y agoAgreed. This is an 8-word tumblr post stretched out to be an entire "article" of content. I honestly see no value added with any of the articles I looked at. Every single one could be replaced with links to reddit comments, maybe with some quotes of the reddit comments, and the images down at the bottom. It's a little less sensationalist than Buzzfeed, and I'd rather look at this than Buzzfeed, but I really don't want to use either of them.
