Why BuzzFeed chose to use the same brand to cover such different sites is beyond me. Every time a quality article is linked here, almost without fail there is someone who will comment along the lines of "BuzzFeed is trash, I'm not clicking that"
I don't blame them. It's not their fault that the news site decided to share their name with a trash clickbait site.
