This is terrible news for journalists and others affected by this action. I sincerely hope BuzzFeed News lives on and the rest of the business model of repackaging content found on social media and reddit goes into the dustbin. They made a business of posting photos/jokes/memes without attribution and burned a lot of bridges. This is saying nothing about the quality of listicles and other content. As much as I detested the non-news part, I'm sure it was a click draw. I'm not optimistic of BuzzFeed News continuing without the rest of the garbage on buzzfeed.com.
