This is actually the exact sort of long-form journalism I would expect from an outlet with proper pedigree, and it's the sort of hard-to-monetize journalism which BuzzFeed funds with its separate clickbait business model.
This is Palanti(e)r journalism from them. Your comment suggests you didn't even click the link.
- zrobotics 9y agoWhile I may not like it, I am glad that buzzfeed has managed to find a way to support good journalism. I almost wonder if they wouldn't be better off segregating these pieces from the rest of their content, as it seems to me that there are likely two entirely different audiences for each type.
