BuzzFeed
Tim’s take
He mostly uses BuzzFeed as shorthand for the useless content job people chase instead of a trade, pointing out that plumbers and home health aides out-earn the aggregator writers and quiz-makers 10:00 35:10 42:29. He extends the same joke to a friend who went from selling ads in Florida to running comedy at BuzzFeed, treating the title as a punchline rather than an achievement 54:32.
He also goes after the people who write for it directly, saying listicle writers who consider themselves creative are just rearranging other people's ideas 42:40. When Chelsea Peretti's brother runs the place, he treats that as proof of unearned media power stoking outrage for clicks 42:39 48:59, though elsewhere he concedes BuzzFeed has broken real stories and issued a fact-check that turned out right 1:01:13 6:02.
