Who remembers Buzzfeed? It’s the platform that tells you what type of bread you are. Well they’re the latest in a line of COVID-19 casualties as they pull the plug on reporting news coming from the UK and Australia in an effort to streamline. Meanwhile, Facebook and GIPHY have a deal that is rumoured to be valued around $400 million. Talk about the big bucks!
