Last Updated on: March 8th, 2023
Here are a few of the most interesting BuzzFeed statistics and facts I was able to dig up including BuzzFeed user counts. As always, be sure to check back in the future as I will be updating this post as new and updated stats become available.
BuzzFeed is a digital media company that produces and distributes a wide range of content, including news, entertainment, and lifestyle articles, videos, quizzes, and podcasts. It was founded in 2006 by Jonah Peretti and John Johnson and is headquartered in New York City, United States.
BuzzFeed’s content is often known for its lighthearted, humorous tone and its ability to appeal to a younger demographic. The company has become well-known for its listicles, quizzes, and viral videos, as well as its coverage of breaking news and social issues.
In addition to its website, BuzzFeed has a strong social media presence and produces content for platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. The company has also expanded into e-commerce, with a line of products including home goods, beauty products, and books.
BuzzFeed has been recognized for its innovative approach to digital media and its ability to engage younger audiences. The company has won numerous awards for its journalism, including a Pulitzer Prize in 2018 for its reporting on the “Russian troll factory” that interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. BuzzFeed has also faced criticism for its reliance on clickbait headlines and for its handling of sensitive topics.

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these BuzzFeed statistics come from their own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. No information contained on DMR should be relied upon to make investment decisions. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100%.
