Buzzfeed, seriously? I know they have some professional investigative journalism articles[0], but this certainly isn't one of them.

As someone who despises BuzzFeed this article was about something I didn't already know about and was both somewhat interesting and informative. I liked it. Not every piece needs to be investigative reporting nor a rehash of reddits front page. This was a good example of middle ground

Buzzfeed is in a similar land as Gawker was sometimes. Yeah, a lot of what they post is trash, but sometimes they talk about something everyone else isn't talking about.

We can make fun of Buzzfeed (I encourage it), but there's no reason to trash a reasonably interesting article solely based on its source.
