@BuzzFeed lays off 15% of staff, and shuts down its news division. What are your thoughts? 🤔💭 Here’s what Flavor Thing (@Brian Lee @Jaeki Cho) thinks: 1. Digital publishers 🗞️ have become less relevant, because creation, curation, and distribution are now accessible by all creators 🤳 2. While unionized ✊🏼 BuzzFeed is a great takeover target as owners of @HuffPost, @Tasty, and @Complex 3. Digital publishers with their pre-existing and often robust relationships with platforms like @Google @snapchat @TikTok @Facebook can and should be lobbyists 🙋🏻‍♂️ for creators 🤨 4. With technological advancement and rise of AI 🤖, what was once an operation requiring 500 people, will soon run with 50...or 5 😥 What other topics should we discuss?
