    You’ve been part of BuzzFeed for years (even if you didn’t mean to be). Now, you can support us, too.

    If you've ever found yourself laughing over a quiz that somehow got your whole personality right, sent a nostalgic list to your group chat (THIS IS SO US), or stayed up scrolling through the comments on a personal story and felt a little less alone — you're already part of what makes BuzzFeed, BuzzFeed. And now, you can be part of what comes next.

    For nearly two decades, BuzzFeed has been your go-to internet spot for joy, curiosity, identity, and connection — especially during times when the rest of the internet feels too overwhelming, too chaotic, or just too much.

    We've always believed in making things that are fun, smart, emotional, and deeply human. That's why we're inviting you to shape the future of BuzzFeed — and help us keep the internet weird, wonderful, and deeply unserious (in all the best ways).



    Introducing: The BuzzFeed+ Membership. You asked for it (a lot!) — and we listened. ✨

    We're ready to roll out an ad-free BuzzFeed. No annoying pop-ups, no automated pre-rolls. Just pure BuzzFeed without distractions. Think of it like binge-watching your favorite show without commercials. (And yes, we turned off ads on this post so you could get a taste of the good life. 😎

    You'll also get special members-only posts, quizzes, newsletters and more, made just for you, early access to new features, and exclusive community perks. If you sign up for the yearly membership at 16% off, you'll also get one of two limited edition tote bags designed by BuzzFeed staff!

    It’s $3.99 a month (or $39.99 a year). That's less than a fancy cold brew, a single streaming rental, or — let's be real — a carton of eggs these days.

    So many of you have reached out to us asking for no ads and less noise on BuzzFeed, and that's exactly what you'll get as a member (along with some other pretty sweet perks!) And because this is just the beginning, we’d love to know what you want out of your membership. Take our quick survey here.



    Beyond getting rid of ads, your membership helps power everything we do. By becoming a member, you’re helping support the work of real people — our writers, editors, producers, graphic designers, and more — who bring you the best of BuzzFeed.

    That includes everything from curated takes on what's trending right now across the internet, to much-needed distractions like quizzes and generators, to personal stories that make you feel seen.

    So, what’s in it for you? Besides a cleaner, faster, ad-free experience (finally!), you'd be supporting:

    💥 The latest in politics and trending news — delivered with clarity, a sense of community, plus just enough humor to make the chaos more manageable, especially right now.
