hope that this answers ur questions guys! love u, and i will see u guys a-next time :) EDIT: for any questions on us not being able to respond to YT comments - it was protocol, not a "contracted" rule or a "fire-able" offense, but we were definitely told that we were not supposed to do it. anyone who has done it either has a different contract than i did or is just flaunting the rules (which some do and I did a few times). and, yes, none of the ladylike girls are allowed to be in my videos anymore!

"Why I Left Buzzfeed" could have its own channel

BuzzFeed is going to start putting in their contracts for new employees that they can't make a "Why I Left BuzzFeed" video after they quit.

This is the clearest, most mature version of "Why I Left Buzzfeed" I've seen.
@karishmaaswani4464 5 years ago

are we going to not notice the fact that this video has more than 20 languages for subtitles?

Forget 'BuzzFeed is running out of ideas', BuzzFeed is running out of people. If all the good people quit, then the videos start sucking.

It seems that they went downhill after Safiya left.

Safiya leaving buzzfeed is probably the best thing she could have done for her career, because 1. Shes INSANELY popular right off the bat 2. Is a natural in front of the camera 3. Has great ideas for content and now it just means she doesn't have to share any of her profits with a third party! GENIUS

Are "Why I left Buzzfeed" videos their own genre yet?
@AshGreen359 5 years ago

I think there is something wrong within BuzzFeed that no one is willing to or allowed to say. I'm glad the Try Guys got out, I can see they are much more themselves now.

buzzfeed is going down and tasty is carrying the company
@julienbelair6524 7 years ago

I feel like "why I left buzzfeed" is slowly becoming it's own genre of videos.
@Xanarchy-ub3dk 5 years ago

I feel like she got her point across in a super respectful way because like some people would completely trash BuzzFeed if this had happened to them but idk she was really respectful about it

Anyone here after watching Kristin's and Jen's video on why they left to refresh what Safiya had said 3+ years ago?
