BUZZFEED CONTROVERSY: “why I left buzzfeed”

Описание: Welcome to Pop Cult: The Fame Files

In honor of the year 2016 and all of it’s millennial-powered trends resurface in the internet zeitgeist, we’re throwing it back to the 20-teens to debrief the mass exodus from everyone’s favorite pop culture site - Buzzfeed Video. We discuss the unreal influx of “why I left Buzzfeed” videos that flooded Youtube and spilled the tea on a company that, from the outside, seemed like a dream job. From The Try Guys to Ladylike, and everyone in between, we take a look into the real reasons Buzzfeed lost all of their self-produced internet stars.

The Fame Files is part of Pop Cult, where we unpack pop culture’s biggest stories, scandals, and icons.

Join us on Tuesday for our next episode of Reality Digest, where we’ll cover the previous weeks’ pop culture chaos and debrief the latest episodes of our favorite reality shows!
