While some traditionalists in journalism cringe at the mention of BuzzFeed, there is no doubt the media disrupter has built up quite the successful conglomerate in a few short years. I am sure you have seen their articles and videos in your social feeds, but have you ever wondered just how many people view and share BuzzFeed’s content? I was curious, so I did a little searching recently.
