Why did Safiya leave Buzzfeed? On March 20, 2017, she posted a video, Why I Left BuzzFeed, explaining the main reasons why she left the company.

Nygaard stated that she was cautioned against responding to comments on YouTube while employed by BuzzFeed in terms of transparency.
She stated,
"While at BuzzFeed, we were not supposed to reply to comments in the comment section on the videos that we made. There were also transparency issues within the company. Over the 15 months I worked on Ladylike, we could never really get a clear answer from higher-ups as to where so the show going or what they thought the future of Ladylike was."
Another reason why she left was that she wanted more responsibilities and ownership of something that she produced. But, in general, her goals and the company's goals did not align anymore.
Having left BuzzFeed, she stated that,
"I just wanna say I have no hard feelings towards BuzzFeed or towards anyone who works for BuzzFeed. I've been loving being able to make my own videos and being able to connect with you guys more."
