History.
Founded by Quinn Hu, Yosef Lerner, and Jake Heffner, Distractify began in 2013 as a social media startup for viral content. The site reached 21 million unique visitors in November 2013. In 2013, 90% of traffic to the site came from Facebook. Distractify competes with Buzzfeed, Upworthy and ViralNova.
In 2014, Distractify saw a drop in Facebook traffic after Facebook began to lower reach for meme-related posts. The site received $7 million in funding that year.
In 2017, Distractify filed a federal lawsuit against Brainjolt, which owns "22 Words", for publishing content which was similar to some of Distractify's content. Distractify has been sued in the past on behalf of photographers for alleged copyright violations concerning the use of their photographs.
