> Sites like Buzzfeed quickly blurted out "Oh noes, now that anyone can publish, will the publishing industry survive?"

...

Wait, Buzzfeed, which was founded, as a website, in 2006, was concerned about the rise of blogs, personal websites, and forums, all of which were going into decline by 2006 with the coming of social media? Buzzfeed didn't even employ journalists til 2010 or so.




The parent comment is pretty obviously ill-informed for anyone who has any familiarity with/adjacency to the print journalism/publishing industry.
