From the article:
"The reaction-cam button -- a small camera icon -- takes interaction on BuzzFeed to a new level, said BuzzFeed Chief Creative Officer Jeff Greenspan, who joined in September. "The most human way to communicate a reaction is through your face," he said. 'We thought we could bring a higher level fidelity to BuzzFeed with how people share their emotional reactions.'"
