BuzzFeed Answers the Quiz, "Which Chapter of the Bankruptcy Code Are You Most Like?," Plus the New Hit Song, "Learn to Code"If you don't want to listen to the new song that's sweeping the nation, you can read this piece from the (cucked-out, tucked-under) National Review. What if your highest aspiration was the lowest common denominator? Keep in mind that the public had lost interest in paying for even moderately high-quality journalism, must less replacement-level journalism, much less the LCD variety.... Actually, it's sadder than that. Because BuzzFeed's director of quizzes was laid off on Friday. No, that's not the sad part. The sad part is why. Yes, it's sad that Buzzfeed had a "director of quizzes" in the first place. But even sadder is this: all of BuzzFeed's most popular quizzes were being created, for free, by an overly energetic 19-year-old college student. See, they laid the director of quizzes off when some Green Eyeshade Genius realized, "Why are we paying a director of quizzes when all the good quizzes are given to us for free by a 19 year old co-ed?" Rachel McMahon is a teen from Michigan you almost certainly haven't heard of before this week. Her name appeared in a blog post from BuzzFeed's former head of quizzes and games, Matthew Perpetua, where he noted that McMahon was the "second highest traffic driver worldwide" for the site's quizzes. (Perpetua was one of several hundred people --15 percent of the company -- laid off from BuzzFeed this month.) McMahon has contributed hundreds of quizzes for free -- BuzzFeed has for years allowed and encouraged so-called community users to submit quizzes without paying them -- and says she never really had any idea how much traffic, and by extension revenue, she was bringing the company. Intelligencer caught up with McMahon to talk about her quiz prowess, her guilt over BuzzFeed staffers losing their jobs, and why Pop-Tarts plus Disney princes is a recipe for success on the internet. Well, at least she got the water bottles. Below, "Learn to Code."
