"an extremely effective way to entice readers"
... you might even say they found one weird trick. Traditional news media hates them. You won't believe what they'll do next.
I don't directly hate Buzzfeed, but I do hate that due to being so successful much of the rest of the industry has emulated them to the point of near saturation. It is getting nearly impossible to consume web content without constantly being subjected to clickbaity garbage (I realize that Buzzfeed actually produces some decent content, but most of those who clumsily emulate them do not).
Of course at the end of the day this is all our fault for being so easily clickbaited by inane stuff.
