YOU are the editor of BuzzFeed! Pitch a stupid idea for a stupid article

having just seen "27 Hilarious Disney Princess Texts From Last Night" i presume nothing is impossible now

editors don't pitch articles

the gauntlet is thrown

my wife showed the disney princess texts thing thinking i would laugh, i just stared back with a face of stone thinking "you might need an intervention, you have to find better sites than buzzfeed and cracked to spend your time on"

it's such a sad, pyrhic victory when you feel more internet-advanced than someone else

editors don't pitch articles

fair point, lock thread

haha yeah i try not to be snobby about trivial things toward the people i love. sometimes you just gotta be like "you can do better" though.

When my wife doesn't know what keyboard cat is or some such my reaction is mostly "God bless you."

Internet naivete can be so endearing

Can you make quizzes on buzzfeed if you don't work there? It seems like you can make any other kind of article.

Couldn't believe Buzzfeed brought back 2008-era 24/7 Facebook quizzes as their newest clickbait scheme.
Waiting for a Mafia Wars reboot.

I asked Perpetua about the sudden explosion of quizzes and he said someone designed the quiz generator for them and now they can't stop themselves. I think maybe they should try a little harder.

My friend released a little anti-Perpetua tirade accusing him of being a hack who didn't know Britpop because he ranked a pulp album over his beloved Oasis albums. I lol'd.

Still kind of bitter about that 90s alternagrrl quiz labelling me Shirley Manson twice >:| Tell him to fix that and send me an honorary Liz Phair sticker

well I got Alanis Morissette so you should be happy (when it rains) (on yr wedding day)

ffm, I got Liz Phair and I really have no strong opinion about her, so you can have her if you want.

You people have no self-control.

http://images.melissaesplin.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/isly-fortune-teller-1.jpg

I have to confess I have a soft spot for shitty quizzes. Particularly if the other option is shitty listicles.

I said listicles.

shitty

Woo, a Liz Phair just for me - finally!

kinda surprised the ~real music journalists~ haven't weighed in (get it?) on big perp's quiz

i got kim deal, obvs

i took his Which Pop Diva Are You a while ago and got rihanna

NEWS: BuzzFeed News is being shut down.

— Oliver Darcy (@oliverdarcy) April 20, 2023

the news operations in various countries were separate editorial divisions from the stupid article business

there will still be stupid articles, just no more stupid news articles

The amount of people saying “we won” in response to this have no idea how grim this actually is. Buzzfeed News’ award-winning investigative reporting literally freed a man who was falsely imprisoned for 23 years by a Chicago detective

We’re actually losing some great reporting https://t.co/Sd1hFEMIJ8
