Buzzfeed. With over 20 million subscribers and a wheelhouse of the internet’s most talented creators, it is simply astounding that a media company can go from having a huge presence online to seemingly insignificant overnight. Whether you hate or love them, there is no denying that Buzzfeed was a media juggernaut around 2016 producing some of the most viral videos and getting hordes of users to take their quizzes. Gaining attention from the 20 something crowd Buzzfeed was a force to be reckoned with. But with such a stronghold on the online community and their numbers reinforcing that, how in the world did this massive enterprise lose their audience?
