The quiz is created by a BuzzFeed community contributor, which means they're not an employee and have no ties to the company. They're basically using the company's platform to make fun of them.

that's maybe what I don't get... are they unable to remove it? or are the gonzo enough to just not care and clicks are clicks are clicks?

Someone on Twitter said they fired the community manager so they can't take this down but I'm not sure if that is to be believed
