9 Reasons why Buzzfeed is an epic FAIL

I'm so sick of seeing buzzfeed links littered all over facebook. Here is my list of things I hate about buzzfeed:


1. The titles always reel me in, but never deliver. I'm pretty sure the process of the people who write them goes a little something like this:

     Step 1: write a nonsensical title

     Step 2: Find senseless gifs

     Step 3: force the gifs to make sense with the article title....just like stuffing a circular puzzle piece into a square hole.

   The final product should look a little something like this:

   26 Greatest Animal Fails of all time!

   1. This bird totally like turned into a plane. FAIL!!!!!!

2. It's never funny. I always click on the links people put up, expecting it to make me laugh. Instead, I react a little something like this:

3. It's just one more way facebook wastes my time. Facebook is such a suckubus.

4. The "articles" are never impressive eg "19 people who regretted feeding the pigeons" or "7 Terrifying facts about Halloween Candy".....just give me MORE THAN ONE fact that's actually 'terrifying,' and yes, we all know that once upon a time some creeper poisoned Halloween candy. That's why Mom made us throw away the unsealed ones.

5. The gifs never make sense with the title.

  17 Reasons I'm trying to write something worth reading online

  1. So that people will feel warm and fuzzy inside!

6. I've already seen everything on pinterest....10 months ago

That dog on the left is clearly buzzfeed, and poor pinterest is getting his cracker stolen.

7. It feeds on poor, helpless nostalgics. I'm guessing everything is written by people in my generation who are yearning for their youth back, as evidenced by titles such as "29 great things about being in your late twenties" or "19 ways Saved by the Bell the College Years lied about college" or "17 Things that will make you feel Super Duper Mega Old." Buzzfeed is not the fountain of youth. YOU'RE GETTING OLD- LIVE WITH IT.

8. The numbers are arbitrary as hell. Let's just make it a nice, well-rounded number. Edit a few of the less attractive numbers out...Lord knows there are plenty of those.



....and finally 9. I CONTINUE TO click on the links, even though I am fully aware of all of the aforementioned items.
