Buzzfeed is about 20% of my "Hide from Timeline" list on Facebook

  I hid it a couple of years ago and I was actually recently surprised it still exists; I never see their links anywhere.

    They really only intrude into my life when a particularly overenthusiastic friend actually bothers to manually paste a link rather than hitting the share button

    That has more to do with Facebook's content algorithm than anything.

      Distribution: No one actually visits our site to read it, we are reliant on third parties. At least 50% of our users come from Facebook, which helps mask if the other sources are even profitable by themselves. Content: We publish content on other platforms which will slowly drain our visibility if they do too well. Audience: We were in front of the curve and road it at its peak when Facebook opened up their newsfeed to content. Technology: When one of our spam articles does really well with organic traffic, we spend a bunch of money to pay to promote it on the most visible channels. As Facebook gave and took away Zynga's free traffic, so goes Buzzfeed's traffic.

  Is there a way to see that list? I'd be interested how many I've hid by now..
