The left-wing media company BuzzFeed has been forced to lay off around 100 employees and eight percent of its U.S. workforce as part of a restructuring plan after the company missed revenue targets, the Wall Street Journal reported.

For reference, according to Wikipedia, they had 770 employees (as of 2014).

They realized Mike Cernovich gave them something worth more views than whatever cat gifs those 100 gave them.

Buzzfeed wants to go public. Apparently, an IPO has been in the works, but they fucked up their valuation and revenue forecasts. Apparently, this revenue target was crucial to hit as they were about to try and get that big money on the exchange.
Lots of folks had their eye on this as it would have been the first "New Press/Meda" company to go public. Buzzfeed is playing dress up like all the rest of the oligarch companies in the settign fire to employees when they fuck up on earnings. Have to get that practice in of making sure shareholders get their piece... of course.

Incredible that it takes 700 people to run that steaming pile of shit. We could do it with 70 and still have time to go out and game afterwards.

The clickbait model is slowly dying. Thank God. It had it's era, like yellow journalism once did, but people are wising up to wasting their time on such garbage. Quality > Quantity is becoming the norm. People are talking about this in high level marketing circles. 80% of page views come from 20% of blog posts.

It's not just blogs like BuzzFeed, but major newspapers like the Failing NYTimes and Amazon WaPo can't afford to pay seasoned journalists, so their staffs are mainly made up of 20s or early 30s soyboys and women who work for peanuts. Thus, they rely on being able to push their political/social agenda through their work to compensate for their poor salaries.
What are these kids supposed to do when they get into their late 40s or 50s? They won't have enough in savings to give them confidence of an adequate retirement and the world of modern journalism doesn't reward senior journalists with six figure salaries anymore, unless they get one of the dwindling spots at a major network.

^^ Their minds are so filled with delusions I don't see how any of those 'bloggers' or 'journalists' can survive in the real world. Their $14 an hour blogging job will be the golden years of their life which they'll learn the hard way.

She should look at it as an abortion of unwanted and unneeded editorial drivel and celebrate Verizon's power of choice.
