They were finalists for the 2017 and 2018 Pulitzer prizes, so the answer's a pretty clear "yes".

Wasn't Pulitzer the creator of yellow journalism?

Frankly, the pulizter, oscar or any of these prizes are meaningless to me since it is apparent that they are part advertisements and part agenda pushing and any objective measure of achievement. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

If the most prestigious award in journalism doesn't count for anything, you could always read up on how they formed their investigative arm (which includes links to some pretty solid journalism): https://www.poynter.org/tech-tools/2016/how-buzzfeed-built-a...

Or you can just go "nuh uh". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They gave money to a disgruntled Guardian employee, so widely disliked employees voted against her promotion to editor, who then took her team with her?
