Rest In Peace G4TV!!!

Sadly it seems one of the premier talents on G4TV, some lady named Frosk was fired.

FROSK FIRED by G4 TV! She's DONE!

It looks like Frosk DIDN’T survive after all. Days after bragging on Twitter that she survived the massive layoffs at the dead on arrival gaming network, it’s being reported that Comcast bought out Frosk’s contract and kicked her to the curb. But it’s too late… the damage is done. G4 TV 2.0 is...

Looks like she didn't survive far beyond that big series of layoffs that occurred last week.

In this Video is a compilation of Frosk's highlights serving on G4TV.

A self-centered, egotistical bitch if ever there was one. Make no mistake; G4's attempt at a revival was doomed from the start for many reason (among them being the fact that Adam Sessler, one of the driving forces behind it, shares Frosk's hatred of video games and the people who play them), but that woman did everything she could to make sure it failed as quickly and spectacularly as possible.

This was after she posted a meme image of "I survived! [the mass firings]" on Twitter.

Apparently, that pissed off the execs enough that they bought out her remaining contract and kicked her ass to the curb.

Frosk is the living stereotype of an angry, bitter lesbian that hypocritically objectifies women and has a fetish for drinking blood with her girlfriend. She's a fucking nutcase, but what else would you expect?

Comcast Pulls Plug On G4 TV, Ending Comeback Try For Gamer-Focused Network

Comcast's Spectacor division is pulling the plug on video game-centric network G4, whose early incarnation in the 2000s remains a cultural touchstone for many millennials, just a year after its relaunch.

Apparently getting twenty thousand views a day on YouTube just wasn't enough to sustain them. Very sad or whatever.

I'll be perfectly honest... when I first saw that G4TV is coming back, I was pretty intrigued and actually thought it had some legitimate potential.

I still remember the original 'announcement' video with all of the old G4TV personalities and... well it was the first and last time I enjoyed G4TV's content. Or watched it either.



They probably could've had some sort of marginal success if they appealed to their actual nostalgia factor instead of a bunch of non-existent progressive zoomers who don't give a fuck about G4 and would complain about everything even if they did.

RIP

No shit 20,000 views wasn't enough to sustain them.

Per one former employee they had 200 people total (most of whom only partly worked on G4). Lets be conservative and say that they had only 20 full time people and 180 people who spent 20% of their time on G4 related stuff, and that the average wages were $50K (I feel pretty certain that all of those numbers are actually higher for the most part).

That's effectively 56 employees at $50K, or 2.8 million a year, before any non-employee related costs. Or $8k a day (Honestly, I think the real number was probably at least 3 times that). No shit they could not survive on $20K views. That's $100 a day optimally.

G4 could've done everything right and still died, because its relying on an old business model that doesn't really work where there are so many competitors producing quality content at massively low production costs that are probably measured at the hundreds per day rather than the thousands.
