They didn't get overlooked though. They won numerous awards and were praised often for their reporting.

I'm going by the average Coli breh and random breh that stumbles upon Buzzfeed. You automatically think of the fact that they focus on AI and let majority of the staff go to chase for more top 10 nonsense, over their stellar news coverage and so forth. No different from folks buying Bob Ross mugs and supporting a company that fukked him and his family over.

Yeah it's the opposite. They are the most respected part of the company but are getting cut because they aren't making $$$ The company itself is on some dirtbag shyt:
Peretti said he had "overinvest[ed] in BuzzFeed News "because I love their work and mission so much."

"This made me slow to accept that the big platforms wouldn’t provide the distribution or financial support required to support premium, free journalism purpose-built for social media," he wrote.

He added that he had failed to "hold the company to higher standards for profitability" to give it a buffer for downturns.

Moving forward, Peretti said, BuzzFeed will have a lone news brand, HuffPost, which he said "is profitable, with a loyal direct front page audience."

Yeah, I'm not expecting the average breh here to know buzzfeed and teen vogue are actually doing good reporting but it's still a lil surprising considering some of the stories they broke from the Steele dossier to Kevin spacey/rapp

In my world, I didn't even know buzzfeed made the AI switch or even still focused on clickbait/top 10 lists tbh

The fact that it's folks ITT conflating the news site with the general site proves it didnt make waves.
