Somewhat ironically - complaining about terrible content is, in itself, rather meaningless and terrible content. As Jason pointed out - there is an entire business around creating terrible click-bait content.
When's the last time asking someone to stop doing their business worked? Buzzfeed isn't going to stop producing click-bait if it is making them money. Which makes this call to end "bad content" pointless - thus making it also "bad content" per the "bad content is pointless" definition they went for.
In extention, I feel sorry for Jason Camps if the political far-left ever sees his opinion piece. Regardless if he is quoting someone else for the use of the word "pussies", people are going to scream at him for being a sexist misogynist.

At the very end of the article, he uses the term himself, without quoting anyone: "Stop shit posting. It’s for pussies." "Somewhat ironically - complaining about terrible content is, in itself, rather meaningless and terrible content." Agreed.
- Nadya 11y agoI'm aware and that was what I was referencing/hinting at (poorly it seems). Using it himself at the end is an allusion to his quoted material. The purpose is a reiteration for emphasis of the concept inspired from the quote. The way he used it was still meant to be in a quote-like context. Context tends to get ignored when people take offense or issue with statements.
