Buzzfeed is a credible news source. It just so happens that they are, so far, the only news outlet to become profitable online, mainly through content for which they have been stigmatized and which you seem to be criticizing. That being said, as the only profitable online news outlet, they have started to build up a rather high-quality long-form journalism team, of which this article is a product. It seems as though clickbait and low-quality content are the unfortunate price modern news companies must pay to make money online in the 21st century. I wouldn't be surprised if Buzzfeed becomes the dominant online news source in the next 10 years, both of trash and real journalism.
