I understand the motivations that exist to do it, you would think though that certain publications would realize that the power of their brand is contingent on not chasing such things. I will say that I've always been very impressed with The Atlantic (on large) regarding the integrity of their content. There are a number of sites that I think do well to steer clear of such trappings but I bet the power of Buzzfeed, the allure of "traffic" is always there tugging at them. Someone needs to create a site, an aggregator that will never succumb to such temptations... cough, that would be great double-cough, a sort of hub of information if you will.
