BuzzFeed, Inc. is an American Internet media, news and entertainment company with a focus on digital media. It’s most known for being a youth centric mouthpiece for trending topics, pop culture, liberal feminist theory, and hot gossip. They developed a particularly devoted following on YouTube, with different content creators grouped into different factions.
Buzzfeed fell under wide scrutiny for limiting the creative freedom of its main hosts/content creators, as well as blatantly stealing concepts from smaller creators on YouTube and Tumblr. The former led to a mass exodus of full time staff members between the years of 2014-2020.
Below are the different (most prominent) buzzfeed content creator groups and individuals
The Try Guys>Members consist of Keith Habersberger, Ned Fulmer, Zach Kornfeld, and Eugene Lee Yang.>Most influential youtube group to leave buzzfeed, at a whopping 7.8 million subscribers. >Content consists of playful attempts at trying “new things” in clickbait fashion>Began endorsing DNC candidates in the 2018 election races >Eugene has an overwhelmingly larger fan base compared to the other guys at first, however in recent years fans have picked their own favorites.Notable personal moments in their series>Keith talks about his body dysmorphia>Zach goes on a hair recovery journey (and kind of fails?)>Eugene comes out (to the surprise of no one)BREAKING NEWS: NED CHEATED ON HIS WIFE ARIEL AND IS NO LONGER A MEMBER OF TRY GUYSThis is currently trending everywhere on twitter and youtube. Order of events + proof will be posted in screenshots below.
LadyLike>Libfem woman centered video platform featuring 5-6 recurring cast members and a rotation of different guests, focusing on lifestyle, women specific issues, and stigmas. Overtime, the name is forced to change to “As/Is” in an attempt at inclusivity, thus erasing the women's specific moniker branding they so carefully built.

There is some skim milk with Steven. I'm just repeating this from memory but some people have questioned how conservative he is, as he is super religious and apparently had some books in his background that
triggered their more liberal fans. He also just had a guest on his show, Uncle Roger, who has (allegedly) made pro-CCP comments in the past.

His proximity to ppl like ned, zach, or keith makes him think it’s so unique to be gay and asian, when really he doesn’t have many friends that are like him background wise. it’s always a dead a give away when people don’t hang out with people like them, just like girls who only have moid friends. they want to be perceived as special.

David letterman still made inappropriate ssexist jokes and acted as a "man's man," so regardless of how much he was seen as a "family man," people aren't surprised by him cheating. women did not like him, and that has been an open secret.
People like Mulaney or Ned genuinely think they are on the cutting edge of feminist theory by painting their nails and adding pronouns to their bio. They want to genuinely appeal to lib women, while letterman doesn't need to. And the worst part? women fall for them everytime.

They give such weird vibes, all of the try guys, buzzfeed in general. Did you guys ever see a video of them ufc fighting? They put huge men next to them, honestly it almost feels like a humiliation fetish because they look so scrawny compared to masculine men. And you can tell having low testosterone got to ned too, because on the "whos the most attractive tryguy" he was the one with lowest testosterone, he was always trying to compensate that. tinfoil but its almost like buzzfeed is a cult that was trying to test them to see how much they are ok with being humiliated. Theres so many times they put people in awkward situations and mask it as "empowering".. like zachs hair implants, he was obviously insecure about his hair, and they put up a video again of very masculine men doing hair transplants on him, then show him looking like a tomato (something def went wrong there) and then show that there was not much sucess with the hair implant… Idk it feels so strange and unconfortable to me. They always looked lobotomized (except eugene, that despite being the most masculine, took the persona of an edgy 13 year old), i hate the "men are goofy" caricature. Theres something so creepy and unsettling about seeing grown men act like they did, honestly i think theres way more stuff about to come out.

Also, Ariel doesn't have a job so she's probably financially reliant on him until a proper divorce.

If he wasn't a cheating retard mood he could have leveraged that into a more serious film career if he really wanted. Quinta got a emmy and she had the same start she did, as a black woman no less. This straight white male could have waltzed into some pretentious indie film company if he was willing to take a minor pay cut at the start and focus on something other than his pathetic low testosterone penis.

Its clear from the TMZ article they are meeting up to take the kids/pick up the kids from school. And Ariel says in clip they need to go get their kids.
I dont think they expected the pap to start asking them questions, maybe just take some photos so they probably said said to eachother act normal then were blindsided by the mouth breather asking if theyre working on things.
Ariel is definitely a push over for not taking off her ring. Id understand all the hush hush if her kids were older but like the one kid is a dumb toddler and the other is a baby. Its not gonna notice your ring is off like the rest of the world does.

Don’t fall for the harmless, non-threatening buddy boy larp. There’s a nasty, aids ridden streetwalker inside every man waiting to come out. How he chooses to coat over this SLUT has no bearing on the fate of your relationship. Buddy boys and macho men both cheat alike.
Though I don’t appreciate the people coming at the woman he cheated with, as women we have the right to fuck whoever we want. It’s the men who say yes to our advances and lead us on, they’re the real culprits. They must be punished.

I genuinely don't think it'd be possible for there to be a female equivalent with even half the success. Just look at the way their fanbase (comprised mostly of young women and teenage girls) talked about them. Doing that typical female fan thing of infantilizing and woobifying their precious little cinnamon rolls. They're even doing it now after the scandal with the remaining try guys, praising them for being so feminist in firing Ned. It's sickening. And Eugene isnt ugly but he also definitely isn't hot enough to warrant the amount of praise he gets for his looks.
>>1662516This is the most likely explanation imo. I bet everyone knew and saw him being flirty with random women but likely didn't have any concrete proof. I haven't been in many situations like this but once a friend tried to warn this girl that her boyfriend had tried to make a move on her and the girlfriend blew up on her and accused her of lying to break them up.

i’m definitely not trying to add to the brain dead arguments of “women tempt men” or whatever sexist bullshit, OR take any attention off of ned, but i wish we could have more nuanced conversations on people who explicitly seek approval from those who are taken romantically.
People who flirt with taken people do so in order to feel like they were “chosen” over someone else.
Sometimes with women there’s another layer of internalized misogyny. we’ve all met that one girl who completely changes when one man enters the room. suddenly every girl is the butt of her jokes or someone to one-up. the competitive air becomes really obvious. it’s disgusting.

She's also undeniable garbage yeah but the kind of comments the two cheaters are getting are fairly different and the person in the worse life situation is getting far more shitty and direct comments.
I would also assume that they can more easily remove themselves from the 'boss sleeping with an employee' vs removing themselves from the 'employee who the boss slept with' if that makes sense? From my knowledge they cant simply fire someone for sleeping with their boss.
>>1666177Keith felt weird to me too but I think he's said he's the kind of person to smile and want to make light of things when he's going through it? I haven't watched their videos in years so I could be misremembering but it could have been him trying to hold that back.

>>1666109Maybe I'm just a turbo autist, but anger like Eugene and Zach are displaying here comes across as so inauthentic and acted to me. I don't think I'd feel that angry even the moment I found out if I was in their position. Just more of a "oh shucks, people do be like that"; I have long ingrained in myself that behavior like this is expected. I don't feel like I have the capacity to get that angry, even if it has jeopardized my business and brand and hurt my friends.
Only things like someone harming my brother or methodically cutting off the legs of a puppy or something would make me rage.

No. 1666403
>>1666377Its less about the cheating and more about cheating with an employee. Also anyone can claim a try guy hit on them with no proof. Even how they typed it was suspicious, why not just say 'zach hit on me and complained that his nurse gf was too busy for him' why be so roundabout and vague about it. Its easy bait to try and make people interact, glad to see you fell for it. Its also most likely a self post seeing as the person just so happen to crop out the interaction icons which if it was their own tweet would show the analytics button.
Reasons people wont/wouldn't care if this situation was anyone else cheating: Ned made his wife his whole personality, he put an emphasis on monogamy and being a 'loving dutiful husband and father', he then not only cheated but did it with an employee and he did so fairly publicly, an employee who was supposedly friends with Ariel. Zach possibly flirted with some rando? ok. If it was real even they admitted that nothing happened past flirting.
Also all of the evidence we've been shown has been them lying about where they were at certain dates. Even in a video Ned claimed that he was travelling for a baseball game when instead he was out with Alex at the concert. Also as the person claimed Alex was upset that they were recognized, why would she care as much if it was an open secret with the other guys? They could easily brush it off or they would fire Alex and just give her hush money (aka what happens in most other businesses) Things like maybe being caught having a meal alone together from time to time could easily be brushed aside as 'oh we were heading to lunch at the same time and decided we might as well go together'

I mean she did take that time off in 2020 because she got burned out. And then came back doing the exact same type of videos. So, if she wants to expand her creative horizons, she's clearly doing that somewhere that's not youtube.

I never paid attention to Gaby & Allison beyond those initial months post-Buzzfeed leave. I can recall Gaby's
obnoxious crush on Allison and her constant attempts to pressure the latter into being less "vanilla" or heterosexual or whatever. I also remember Allison gaining some weight after that breakup and getting really sensitive about it, and Gaby calling out Josh Groban (lol) for being gross. has anything else of note occurred besides the inevitable trooning out of the attention whore
>>1666756 she should exert some actual creative energy into this shit. or at least travel more. like her content can be informative and her personality isn't TOO unbearable if we spend a short amount of time with her. that underwater hotel video, for example.

Ned had a fat ass and was super smart, and then if you were into that, had the whole "family man" angle.
Zack was a frail balding jew who was annoying and insecure. His insecurity and constantly being sick/ill in some way makes him extremely unattractive to most people. The fact he bagged Maggie is shocking but she seems kind of boring and never around.

There was clearly a point, long ago, they both knew exactly what they were doing and what the stakes were and did it anyway cause they don't give a shit about the people around them.
honestly, this post sounds like the warped mind of a cheater trying to justify why they did it. im sure ned and alex thought their partners gave them

I lean more towards the second option, personally.
If they’re this pissed off at Ned, they have to be equally as pissed off at Alex. Like someone said upthread, she was an assistant producer or something and also knowingly put their whole company on the line. The “open relationship” shit is bullshit. That clearly was not the case with her fiancé of 10 years because he’s the one who went scorched earth and exposed their shit on Instagram. So she’s a POS for cheating on him regardless of being a home wrecker or not. And she was friends with Ariel, so I’m sure she would have been able to figure out real quick whether or not any stories Ned fed her about being in an open marriage were true or not. They both are just trash fucking humans, that’s the end of it really.

>>1668782Eugene is tall, thin, and conventionally attractive so he can easily get away with not having good taste and still come off as “fashionable”. I’m sure most of his fans are into drag queen bullshit and think that ugly clown paint on a man is haute couture.
He should really stop trying to shoehorn all the bad makeup and androgynous fashion. It comes off as awkward and unnatural because he’s fundamentally pretty masculine in both looks and personality. I think he’s overcompensating after being closeted for so long. Doesn’t help that he came out at a time where gendies have watered down gay identity into performative “queerness”. Mere homosexuality isn’t enough to qualify these days.
Part of it is also optics/marketing. It feeds into his “I’m a real artist breaking down boundaries” image. He’s a narcissist and probably likes how much engagement and praise he gets for posting selfies wearing weird lipstick colors and poorly blended eyeshadow.

Whether or not the public idolizes certain cheaters because of their contributions to society is irrelevant - firstly because the public will idolize murderers, domestic abusers, pedophiles etc so being idolized by the majority does not really say much about who's morally good, secondly because Ned hasn't contributed much so it simply doesn't apply to him (as you've agreed).
I want to drop this now because Im becoming increasingly autistic but the issue here is that you're conflating moral judgement with your own personal preferences. If you say "yeah this guy fucked up, but I still like him better than the other guy" people will/should accept that even if they don't agree. But if you say "this guy fucked up, but the other guy who hasn't done anything is worse because I don't like his personality" then you will get a lot of people angry.
Ned might not have killed a puppy but he caused immense pain to his family, his "brothers" (who wouldnt be in a time of need if it werent for him) , Alex's fiance and just pretty much everyone associated with him. You can just find another public personality that you enjoy watching and move on, Ned's children can't pick a different father.

Why the fuck
No. 1670014
>>1669771The difference is that Ned literally had nothing going for him except his wife, he has literally ZERO TALENT and puts in ZERO effort. By cheating, he loses everything. Yeah scrotes cheat all the time and people still consume their content one way or another, but it's a bit different when that content literally hinged on his wife and his family man image. That was all he provided to the Try Guys too. The one thing he had going for him, he destroyed, openly. Not only that, he cheated with an employee and opened everyone up to lawsuits. His kids are going to get bullied over this for the rest of their school lives. Yeah he might not have kicked a puppy, but in comparison all Eugene has done to you is be gay and annoying, he hasn't ruined the life of another woman to this degree, he hasn't ruined the lives of his non existent kids etc. Milli and Vanilli never got forgiven and faded into obscurity over being found out to be frauds, if you base your whole identity and career on a lie and people find out, there is no way of going back. Ariel was his source of jokes, his personality, everything. What the fuck does he even have left without her? He has nothing to show to keep people's good will, except that of pickmes who wished they were Alex and scrotes who think he's based for doing this. Eugene is just gay and annoying (which is also his shtick), he'd have to come out as straight after cheating with a married employee of his in public to get even close to the same level.

Also, his demeanor in the dress video is fucking bizarre. I was expecting emotional reactions to seeing yourself in a wedding dress for the first time, especially if you’re finally living you’re true womanhood or whatever. but no, the delivery of his reactions are so stunted and strange.

>>1670520>>1670538Exactly. Eugene not wanting to share his personal life or him not liking the Podcast format in general isn't a good reason for not showing up in the podcast episode were they talk a major change in their company/brand.
On a sidenote, since they mostly talked about how they reacted to the situation in terms of their buisiness I kinda wish they would have talked more about how things went down on a more personal level like how they and Ned reacted when everything came out regarding their friendship or whatever. Maybe they can't do this for legal reasons or they haven't really been friends irl so there wasn't really something to discuss but since their brand was build on them being a friend group and the parasocial relationships with their audience, I'm sure most people would be more interested in the friendship drama than in the actions they took to save the company

Internet stars and celebrities are more than happy to share their personal life and profit off of parasocial relationships when it's going well, but the second they're under fire for something (like a choice you made to cheat, every day, for at least a year) it's all "Oooh we should respect their personal lives1!!!1"
Jfc though, how much of a psychopath do you have to be to sit in bed with your wife, or be at the park with your kids, and be texting your side piece and planning when you'll hook up again? That's gotta have been happening, daily, if not hourly. Ew.

>>1671006>how much of a psychopath do you have to be to sit in bed with your wife, or be at the park with your kids, and be texting your side piece and planning when you'll hook up again?this is why ill never understand the "cheating happens, its just a mistake!" people
maybe if its making out with someone at the bar while severely drunk, but doing it long term requires so much lying and pretending that any normal person would not be capable of it unless they absolute hate their partner
he literally brought her to their house and introduced her to the kids, holy fuck
No. 1671200
>>1671041I don't follow the Try Guys but I feel like Ned will do it again, whether it's with Alex or someone else. He seems like he had everything: a successful business, a wife who diligently takes care of the kids and house, financial success, friends. Like you said, this isn't a one-time drunken mistake, it was a choice for a year. He would happily have kept up the affair if he hadn't lost everything because of it. Who's to say he's not continuing the affair, even now? Or that there's not a THIRD woman?
With his lack of empathy, he probably doesn't even truly realize what he's done wrong. He probably justifies it to himself: "My wife is all saggy and tired after the kids. Men need to have sex with pretty young women. It's not human nature to be monogamous" etc.
I won't be surprised if more women come out in the future, or if he's caught cheating again in a few months after the drama has died down.
Like everyone says, he's not sorry he had an affair, he's sorry he got CAUGHT. I guess sometimes you just "lose focus" and your penis slips into your coworker for months at a time.

It's very sus tbh. Maybe Ned isn't involved but whoever wrote the sketch needs an empathy chip. The try guys have a full audience consisting mostly of children and adults who think like children. Of course they're going to have a very scripted measured response. Their brand has always been that level of irritatingly "clean". Scrotes really do be like

people are allowed to talk about shit that's socially relevant to them or part of the zeitgeist without trying to figure out a solution to conflict in the middle-east as a side hustle. this has nothing to do with the critical analysis of the average person or whether they care about other worldly issues. sexism IS a worldly issue. plz stfu.

Honestly he's so masc that if he was white I think he wouldn't come across as being much different from the other try guys.

Most Try Guy fans remember Zack from buzzfeed and the start of the Try Guys when he was sick the balding, annoying Jew. Like look at this picture. He looks like fucking Dobby from Harry Potter. Not only was he balding but he was -incredibly- insecure about the fact he was balding and would always try to "call it out first" and he would just make things awkward. He finally ended up getting a hair transplant and then that became his whole personality for like a year. And then after he got hair, he started to become the "chronic illness" Try Guy, where all his videos were about how frail and weak and he was. Like, it's just human nature for women to want nothing to do with a sickly male. It's kind of interesting that he ended up with a Nurse.

toxic friendship.
I find it so hypocritical that Gaby is okay with gaining weight because it’d be in line with how she wants to see herself, as a bulky transman. But when Allison wants to lose weight (in a healthy way too!), it’s sad and fucked up. The body positivity/fat acceptance movement has done so much harm. It should be normal to say you want to put effort into your appearance, like how can Gaby want support for her transition (arguably way more bodily harmful than anything Allison is doing) but not be able to give the same?? She cannot say that Allison looks happy and satisfied with her body as is. The solution isn’t more ~body positive self examination healing bs~, it’s just a diet omf.

toxic to me. If a woman is telling people around her that she wants to lose weight, she wants to lose weight and you're more likely to be successful if someone is supporting you. Saying 'you don't need to lose weight' is invalidating everything they just said and belittling their issues. She said in the video that she has problems with her self image, so why would you discourage her from being more confident in her body?
It's easier to control someone in a relationship if they're low self esteem and they have body image issues. 'you don't need to lose weight' is enabler speak for 'I want you to be dependent on me for your self worth'

>>1974814yes and it seems nobody gave a fuck. all 6 reviews are old ones of girls commenting that they can't wait to read it when it comes out but none of them updated the review nor were there any new since it came out. it's not on libgen and goodreads doesn't even have the cover included

>>1974827Jesus the premise is generic woke YA slop and I seriously doubt Eugene is a good enough writer to make it interesting
>>1974830They all hate that the try guys is their legacy, its really off-putting and pretentious. I don't understand why they're so ashamed, the try guys videos were silly but not that bad at least before Ned left.
It's actually funny how bad their content is without Ned, I never realized he was holding the channel together so much. Its clear Zach and Keith were never gonna make it in hollywood

Surprisingly, this wasn't posted already, but recently Ned updated all his social media platforms (which had been previously dormant): his Facebook, his Instagram, and his LinkedIn. Apparently, he's running his own media company now.

The fall of the ghoul boys has arrived. Watcher Entertainment (Shane and Ryan from BuzzFeed Unsolved + Steven from worth it) has announced that they are now going to be a streaming service. 5.99 USD a month to be precise. Basically they have too many (25) employees, don't want to rely on advertisers, want to up the production quality, and Steven is getting a show where he travels and eats expensive food. Comments are dunking on them for their greed + many are admitting they don't like Stevens content lol. Why didn't they advertise their patreon or do YouTube memberships? Your guess is as good as mine. Quiting YouTube for a streaming service they made themselves is such a shitty business move I fail to see how anyone would have thought it to be a good idea. It's like they forgot who their audience is.

>>1987085The most shocking thing about this to me is that they somehow needed 25 employees to make overproduced youtube videos kek
>>1987219I mean even outside of the specific fanbase they cultivated, saying 5.99 a month to watch their content at all (rather then something like Patreon) in a time where everything already forced a subscription down your throat, is expensive. Like, tell me why I should spend that much on your passion project vs. getting a subscription to a streaming service with endless amounts of content in the same vein?

>>1987085shane's wife recently posted picrel and now watcher is getting even more hate as well. It seems like they really don't get it. No one wants to see time consuming film-grade effects for shane and ryan's videos, we were just fine with still images and basic editing and no one wants to see steven flying first class and eating expensive food with his rich hipster friends.

>>1987815This is what frustrates me so much
They assume we don't know how much money these people make (despite knowing their number of patrons and a general understanding of Adsense), when it's obvious they overspent and hired too many useless employees and tried to become a big network way too fast, yet when we say that they should downsize, they act like thats just so ignorant to suggest, as if that isn't what all companies do
Also, who gives a flying fuck about Steven Lim and his shows everyone is just watching Watcher for true crime and ghosts and MAYBE the puppet
They have no idea who their audience is and insult said audience when they're the ones who fucked up their whole business. They act like they have 4 year olds watching who only watch Mr. Beast

>>1987815>>1987910I actually used to watch some of steven's videos and as
>>1987927 statedm they were pretty popular. However it was mostly because of the novelty. The actual hosts(steven and andrew) themselves were not the main draw. but it was fun when they went to more average restaurants around the world. They were at their worst when they were at fancy restaurants, because it's basically vidrel, a bunch of hipsters eating expensive food triumphantly in slow motion.

While I think shane and ryan can salvage their reputation I think steven can't. The overwhelmingly majority of the complaints you'll see are directed towards steven (regardless of his actual role). Plus someone dug through their podcasts to find this clip of him saying that he's friends with people who have somewhat bigoted views, and are using it to accuse him of being racist and homophobic.

>>1988216I agree with him on that if your friends have some opinions you don't agree with you shouldn't just drop them. We all have some unsavory things we believe in; nobody is perfectly virtuous, but you can't say that in this day and age when virtue signaling and only saying the correct opinions is a social currency. There is no nuance or growth on the internet.
I liked Watcher and like many didn't find Steven all that amusing, especially not by himself. But it's infuriating to see their fans cast Shane as the woobified cinnamon roll and Steven as the cold money-grubbing Mr. Krabs. These are grown-ass men who make business decisions together and all love money, who tf doesn't?? Parasocial relationships are a helluva drug.

sage for technically no milk, I just want all of you to see the reaction from the subreddit when steven first announced that andrew and adaam were recruiting for worth it on watcher.
