Hoonigan is on the way to become The Escapist of automotive youtube. All of the talent got driven out by the corpo side, and the channel is dead.
@Tech_-on1ou8 ай бұрын
Not exactly a 1:1 comparison, but I get the sentiment. Escapist fucked up by firing Nick, it just happened to work out in the way that the entire video production team really rallied behind him and threw their middle fingers up as a unit and created Second Wind. It was swift and targeted. The downfall of hoonigan is slow and as far as I know, they haven't "forced" anyone out, and the OGs don't seem to have any plans to reunite under their own independent banner, atleast not for the time being. If WheelPros had canned Scotto after Ken's death, they probably would have all rallied together and done the same, but that's not how it's gone down.

Take a quick look around KZfaq and see how many people are getting rich by simply making content. The company has completely changed course and abandoned what made the brand great. Hoonigan still does all the cool shit we love, they just don't upload it to KZfaq. They had a killer SEMA show and NO videos. They only make a video if there is a sponsor which WILL 100% kill the brand. So they have sponsors but all the people who buy their shit will stop caring and stop buying. The big GRID event to honor Ken is cancelled before it ever started. P.S. I would bet my left nut Zac will be gone by summer. It's a sinking ship. Accept it and move on.
