Why I Left Buzzfeed...
I can no longer scroll through Facebook without seeing things like "Pick 3 pieces of fruit and we'll tell you which Disney princess you'd be most likely to sacrifice during a full moon."

More recently, we've been seeing some more problems from the Buzzfeed world.. Months ago, they absolutely were the "HUB" if you will. They were everywhere, and you saw it on Buzzfeed first. Whether it was a recipe, a trend, or a challenge--it took the internet by storm after its upload. But, more and more often, we are seeing Buzzfeed being the last to post on a given topic, or even worse, to "develop" whole series that...we're already fans of.

My first experience with this is Jaclyn Glenn, gorgeous Youtuber whose brand new series, "A Skeptics Guide to Wellness" was just recently binge-posted to the Fullscreen App. She found that Buzzfeed had a couple videos that just about mirrored those of her show. Not only do the timelines just not add up but, once Jaclyn tried to respond to these so badly timed videos, she was treated like shit. Getting run-arounds, pre-rehearsed answers, and bitchy "creators" that seemed to just be upset that they got caught--spouting off with lines PUBLICLY like Kelsey Darragh's "Sorry you're not that memorable I guess." Fucking bitch, imo,
So, they aren't crimes to be fought with a firing squad, but they are enough. While, I do still enjoy Tasty videos. I think I'm just done with Buzzfeed. They're over-hyped, overdone...and the content just isn't all that great anymore. In conclusion, unsubscribed.
Sorry for the bit of clickbait guys, it's been on my mind for a couple days. Lastly, if you haven't done so already, be sure to check out the new single "Sly Dog" from Demi the Daredevil. After getting a sneak peak at the track, I've almost completed my review and will have it for you guys on Friday, the 17th--after giving the mixed & mastered track my full attention.
