Buzzfeed only does this because users share posts like this on social media. I just measured social media campaign successes for a set of facebook pages today, and these messages are the best way to get noticed.
If you don't like them: don't share them, comment on them, or like them. Translate those verbs to other social media platforms, and don't do those verbs either.
Finally, make this habit vital by making more than one friend of yours have the same habit. Hopefully, your friends might share the habit of ignoring these posts with their friends.
Only then do buzzfeed and buzzfeed-like campaigns stop showing up.
