OMG! It's sad to see another media player go down. I used to read BuzzFeed News on a weekly basis but gradually lost interest. As you pointed out quality had decreased over time... It's also very likely their audience became older and moved on to other outlets.
When I see media outlets without enough direct traffic, I roll my eyes because it's obvious that won't be sustainable. BuzzFeed let go of 15% and (business) Insider 10%, for BuzzFeed this is probably the beginning of the end.
