This seems like a dumb move for FB. Why would they expect anything worth watching from buzzfeed or vox, take a look at their youtube channels - garbage content, terrible views, tons of dislikes. Yep, sounds like winning entertainment we need more of /s

Facebook knows what their users like. Literally.
I have to say I am subscribed to Vox cause they do good videos from time to time about music, comics, how stuff came to be, etc but they're horrible when they start talking politics
They have a political podcast "The Weeds" which is pretty good - it's very left but they're really knowledgeable about the topics they talk on. I don't watch their stuff on YouTube etc. having seen a few and been disappointed, but that podcast is solid.
You are not their target market.
Is your entire comment supposed to be sarcastic (/s), or just the last sentence?
Yea, but look how many views they are getting. More views = more advertising money, even if they do get downvotes. Those downvotes aren't their target anyways.
