The 'Delete BuzzFeed' meme gained significant traction following various controversial articles and quizzes published by the media giant, leading to a massive wave of online criticism. It often features a screenshot of a Change.org petition titled 'Delete BuzzFeed' or imagery of a 'Delete' button being aggressively clicked. The meme serves as a symbol of internet users' exhaustion with listicles, sensationalist headlines, and perceived cultural bias. It is widely used across platforms like Reddit and Twitter to signal a collective desire for higher-quality digital journalism or to simply mock the site's unique, often criticized style of content creation.
