Regardless of buzzfeed's standards for "thought provoking" and the superficial irony, I think there's a point here. But, I think it's only half the equation. Filler is pointless. But, an even more important point is depth. If someone has an interesting point of view on anything from ISIS in Iraq, post conflict Russia-Ukraine relations to the medium term implications of lower oil costs on energy exporting economies of South American there is an unlimited level of depth that a reader may want to get into. IE, there's a place for recent facts in headlines, there is a place for two minute commentary. But, there is also room for people to jump into far more depth. Whether in print of on video, those talking heads frame a battling for 12 second soundbites in a battle of of cliche and shallow wit are now pointless. If people want to engage deeper, there is no page limit.
