Or Teen Vogue (which pivoted hard from beauty/fashion into sociopolitical commentary around 2016/2017).

Yes, but Buzzfeed presumably broke news and did the whole journalism mambo. Anyone can write sociopolitical commentary.

Sociopolitical commentary as in an anal sex guide to minors, and several articles "explaining" how Socialism is the way forward?

It's pretty clear to figure out what is their end-game, and it's not just a redirection from shallow subjects such as the fashion world and teenagers stuff, to more "serious" topics.

Every rag aka DailyMail provide commentary, it's standard. Can't compare it with the Italians or Buzzfeed news. Vogue pivoted from beauty to standard gossip rag.

I'm not an expert, but as far as I know, the difference between BuzzFeed (click-bait trash) and BuzzFeedNews (serious journalism sponsored by the former).
