I clicked on the twitter link, I don't know why really, I probably shouldn't have > "A bunch of people were laid off (and more to come! Fuck!) who quite literally created and shaped the internet as we know it today." I think this what people mean when they talk about Poe's law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law. For a short while I thought I was reading a parody. > "BuzzFeed changed the internet, for better or worse (if you say worse to me right now please eat my ass)," ... "They gave moral clarity, heart, and a mission that was never craven click-lust, but driven by serious consideration of humans" It seems the team builders there failed on the moral clarity bit. At least there is more work to be done, but time has run out it seems. It's interesting to observe how confident they are that they shaped the internet for the better. Something tells this is not an anomaly and most of them share that belief. This is a great example self and group brainwashing. And notice the part where if you disagree with them, you get immediately attacked. Clearly the qualities of a sophisticated investigative journalist, ready to report news in an unbiased and objective manner.
