She then launched her own Buzzfeed series, "Broke," which was well received by the audience. Quinta revealed that after the series' success, she felt she could "push new narratives into Hollywood" as a content creator. She eventually left Buzzfeed in 2019.

Brunson praised the internet and how it helped her previous videos reach their target audience, which led to a big opportunity at Buzzfeed, telling OkayPlayer:

"In reality, I’m a child of the internet... I was born with it, I love it and I use it every day. I don’t want to abandon it. People think that they have to get out of it to be on TV or movie land. I don’t feel that way and I never want to feel that way."
