Buzzfeed is just another part of the giant signal system for identifying thought crime and signaling to the ... network of... people... out there... that something is happening. Really the way internet journalism works is that these "higher traffic" sites are coordinated. Gamergate exposed the email rings that happen behind the scenes. These things are done in order to actively drum up stories and "narratives" which the writers all work together to craft by altering the headlines and stories in minor ways. They view themselves as being defenders of reality, and think that their actions are for the "greater good" of social progress which they imagine in their minds. They are freakishly parasitic, really. They do hide behind their frail "professional" exterior which is meant to make it seem as though their shit-tier opinions are inherently worth more than someone like mine, just some random guy with a fucking screen name on Reddit.

That's the funny thing about this interview. This hack is no more qualified than anyone else here, we could do his job and do it with hundreds of times more intelligence and wit, and insight. Yet we can't get access to those nodes in the "network" which as been arranged by gatekeepers and the "money" for various reasons.

It's just nice to see these writers out in the open, because they are absolutely everywhere. They form the basis for our entire media system more or less, and when you see them for what they really are it helps you remember that they're just highly glorified, well paid Reddit commenters who put a little more effort into their writing so that they can pay their car insurance. I can't blame them, not everyone can handle living in poverty. Doesn't mean you should excuse their bitch-tier minds and bitch-tier ethical ability. In fact since it's all we have, we should surely dig the knife in that much deeper IMO.
