We all know BuzzFeed. The clickbaity article website full of, um, millennial-targeted gems. I have a love-hate (mostly hate) relationship with this website, as some of their postings are moderately decent, while the majority of them make me cringe. It doesn't take much to make a list of bad BuzzFeed articles, so this list will be ones I find on their front page.
1. Any type of quiz
Most BuzzFeed quizzes are nothing short of uninspired, to say the least. While it can be argued that they are just for fun, it really seems like they pick random words out of a hat when it comes to their quizzes.
2. Anything involving the Kardashians
A lot of people say that the Kardashians are famous for all the wrong reasons, if not for no reason at all. BuzzFeed seems to really endorse their fame, as they know it will get them clicks on their articles, which will lead to them getting ad revenue.
3. Frog genitalia
No, I am not making this up, this is a real article.
4. Their form of sarcasm
Alright, I know BuzzFeed does promote a lot of body positivity, and that's a great thing. But sometimes the sarcasm they use to promote their messages is a bit off-putting.
5. One-sided objectification
BuzzFeed has a lot of articles talking about how bad objectifying women is bad, and it is. But when it comes to men, it is the opposite.
6. Misleading articles
Despite the promising title of this article, I hate to disappoint, but it was all about roosters. There was one called something along the lines of "10 amazing pairs of tits," and it was a bird that is called a tit. I guess the tit one got removed because it was "objectification."
7. Bruhhh
I don't have any words for this one.
