The Rise & The Fall Of Buzznet: Part 2
By 2008, Buzznet’s tight-knit community of scene royalty was tearing itself apart through public feuds and competitive drama, while Facebook's clean interface and mysterious algorithm systematically dismantled their kingdom.

In Part 2 of our Buzznet series, we dive into how the platform that accidentally invented influencer culture became its first casualty.
