BuzzFeed is a great example of how focusing on short-term revenue-maximizing metrics (clicks) at all costs can create irreparable long-term reputation damage - a quiet, hard-to-detect debt that can sink a brand.
BuzzFeed is the strongest example of the new generation of shallow, biased, predictable poli-trash media outlets and this will be impossible to overcome.
