They layed off 30 people two days ago and they aren't makin' money

 

[Marty McFourth]

Yo Kiffy

G4's not shutting down. They air stuff on YouTube, Twitch, and linear television as well as other streaming places. The layoffs came from NBCUniversal who have been laying off from multiple divisions and subsidiaries. Other companies are doing it as well, there's a large-scale culling in the television and entertainment industry, it's not isolated to just them

 

[Kiffy Lube]

It's gonna shut down though

 

[Nostradamus]

Nah, they'll be fine

 

[Kiffy Lube]

They lost like half their fanbase in two weeks of bein' back over sexist shit and haven't recorvered that well

 

[Nostradamus]

You mean people that never paid attention to the original G4 in the first place? lol

 

[Kiffy Lube]

You know, I should be more positive that it'll end workin' like Nos is doin'

 

[Nostradamus]

Yeah they're honestly fine. Like are they rolling in money? Hell no. But they're running well and doing ok

 

[Nostradamus]

They've got a lot of outside deals and partnerships and they work with both WWE & AEW

 

[Kiffy Lube]

G4 originally died pretty much because shows like Cops and Cheaters were doin' way better ratings than their original shows. I don't know if a lot of the former fans even are watchin'

 

[Nostradamus]

The layoffs, while being INCREDIBLY shitty, might end up working out better.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I just want my gamin' content, dammit

That's not true. It died because the parent company fired everyone, wanted to move away from their core audience, licensed show like Cheaters and Cops which nobody watched on G4, then they switched the name

I remember original G4.
