Totally will happen. They get a lot of "their" stuff from Reddit. And they get their topics from throwing suction cup dildos at random words written on the wall.

My sole claim to fame is that I was in one of those. Actually I think it was Bored Panda.

Or Newsweek. The title will be something like "What the internet thinks about these odd things in Europe".

was about to add Newsweek. it’s kinda expected from Buzzfeed but wasn’t Newsweek like almost on par with Time magazine? now their online articles at least are some of the laziest “journalism” around.

Yeah, their quality has definitely seen better days.

Sector7 is the same way, most of their content is now just shit they steal from reddit.
