While two years old, this piece really does cement the importance of sites such as Buzzfeed and their business (money making) model. In their words: "But the sharing of sponsored content is the centerpiece of BuzzFeed's business model. Mr. Peretti is so sure about the premise that he has dispensed with traditional banner advertising entirely." And it's true, one of the reasons I enjoy reading through both political news and ridiculous lists is because there is that simplicity in sharing an article at a moment's notice, without feeling intrusive.

The fundamental principle of the company is to compensate mobile users in Asia and Africa (where mobile data is still very expensive) for the cost of the data required to view branded content.

Still not really sure which side I fall on

Consumers are becoming more and more in control of how they consume media and advertising. Some companies are being left behind.

Facebook went from social media to mainstream media and shifted the power from users back to big money corporations that can pay more and more to have their content seen.

the millennials are changing the way people think about watching tv. the big screen is on but we are on another device. even without the big screen we are watching more and more television on mobile devices.

I think the headline of this article is a good way to put it. Is it true? I would say probably so. The article avoids committing to too many opinions - which screen are people really paying attention to? Who knows? It's a legitimate question.

This isn't really what the article was about, but I love branded content stuff like this when it's done thoughtfully: "A recent example is Chipotle, which recently launched an original Hulu series on factory farming to promote their brand beliefs."
