Hi there Buzzfeed Employee,
Nothing personal, but I hate you.
Seriously. I mean as a marketer, I get how talented you are at pandering to the public. I imagine your discussions go like this:
You: "how about a list of childhood shows from every demographic ever on the internet"
Everyone else: YES!!!
Look, I get that you are creating "moments" and helping people relate to each other - and it works; Its just that your work exactly illustrates what I hate about the internet. Rather than actually relating, we share ready made nonsense en masse. I don't need a third party to tell me what matters. My nostalgia is not for sale.
And yes, since you are probably thinking it - I AM actually resentful of your success. I RESENT how easily you are able to commoditize pop culture and my history and think what you are doing is hacky.
But since you will anyway, keep up the "good" work.
Sincerely,
Rachel
