BuzzFeed is by far one of the most idiotic and irritating websites that I encounter on a daily basis. It’s filled with opinion-based, mindless articles that have absolutely nothing to do with reality. BuzzFeed does nothing but give people false hopes and clogs my newsfeed with things that no one actually cares about. Why the hell would I want to read an article about “the 10 cutest things your cat did this weekend"? This time of year is by far the worst with BuzzFeed articles since Valentine's Day is next week. Can’t wait to see all the posts like “22 legitimate reasons why the only Valentine you need is your BFF” or why “single women are strong women.” Oh, really? If you don’t care about Valentine's Day then why are you sharing an article about Valentine's Day? The only thing faker than that BuzzFeed article is you pretending that you actually want to hangout with your BFF or that you don’t care about Valentine's Day. Lets be honest the majority of you that will be sharing such articles are sitting on the couch sobbing at "The Notebook" eating the Russell Stover box of chocolates that Nana just sent you. Contrary to popular belief people, not everything you read on the Internet is true. Here is why I hate BuzzFeed and the person that shares it.
1. It's Irrelevant
Sure I use
my social media daily to see what my peers are up to and as a form of news. I
don’t read the paper so like most of you I turn to my Twitter feed to see what
is going on in the world. I now have to weed through the pointless BuzzFeed
posts that have absolutely no relevance to anything in my life. I would like to
use my social media for things that I care about in life, not your stupid GIFs.
2. It’s making you less intelligent
If you
believe the things you read in a BuzzFeed article I highly question why I am
following you anyways. The Internet is full of lies just like that girl on Instagram who you know is a hard 3 but looks like an 8. Buzzfeed in no way has
any factual evidence and is nothing but worthless opinions and photos that
probably give you some form of cheap entertainment during class. BuzzFeed is
“click bait” that their staff comes up with to get views. It's pointless and a
waste of your and my time.
3. It shows what type of person you are
How is it
that I am never surprised when I see the person’s name that shared such an
article? I’m guessing most of you are Facebook friends with those people from
high school who you know absolutely nothing about but could guess based on the
buzzfeed article they just shared. Like the girl who fills your feed with Internet
PDA such as “why your boyfriend is not only your significant other but also
your best friend” (gross). There is a 100 percent chance they make out in public
and sit on the same side of the booth…
4. It's Flat out Annoying
Yes I said this already but I am trying to get a point
across here folks. BuzzFeed is garbage that they sucker you into with dumb GIFs just so you click on their page and get views. Social media is already filled
enough with promotions and ads please don’t make it worse on all of us by
reposting someone’s uncreative thoughts.
5. You forget that another human writes BuzzFeed
Not sure if
you guys knew this, but BuzzFeed is written by the same poor soul that just
shared an article titled “31 grilled cheeses that are better than a boyfriend.”
Now you sad people can have a pity party because you are both equally stupid
and more than likely overweight due to the fact that you ate 31 different types
of grilled cheese. Congratulations on sharing with all of your Facebook friends
how miserable your grilled cheese infested lives really are.
So please next time you are procrastinating from studying, don’t waste my news feed with man-buns and Harry Styles. I am most likely procrastinating too and want to read something that actually matters.
