I see this claim a lot whenever people criticize Buzzfeed's news division. That department is still being fed by the cash their clickbait empire brings in. Furthermore, the number of quality articles Buzzfeed puts out is honestly quite slim compared to more established new companies. One decent article here and there doesn't salvage their reputation. Everyone familiar with Buzzfeed has a clear mental image when that name is mentioned, and "quality journalism" or even "journalism" aren't the first things that come to mind.
