- aembleton 11y agoThey do quite a bit of it and fund it through their fluff and click-bait. It's actually a similar model to a lot of traditional broadsheet, just applied to the web.
- coldpie 11y agoBuzzFeed has a crazy amount of real, good journalistic content. I wish they used a separate domain name for their real journalism so I wouldn't have to take the "real article or clickbait" gamble every time I click a buzzfeed.com link.
- shas3 11y agoIt would probably be counter to their revenue model if they had a separate domain for serious journalism.
- twilkinson573 11y agohttp://www.buzzfeed.com/bigstories http://www.buzzfeed.com/bigstories is the best place to find their longform stuff without having to wade through the quizzes and clickbait.
- davidgerard 11y agoBuzzFeed has a startlingly good line in actual serious journalism these days.
- dang 11y agoWe detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11519919 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11519919 and marked it off-topic. Btw this comes up every time a substantive Buzzfeed article appears on HN.
- Cyph0n 11y agoDamn, sorry for the trouble :(
