    IIRC they blew the budget on getting everyone to do videos, Facebook lied about their view numbers, and when they finally got their ad revenue it was so low they “had” to fire everyone and go to a skeleton crew.

      That and cracked.com was bought by E.W. Scripps, who gutted it and resold it.

      They weren’t doing poorly on YouTube, even won a couple awards for original comedy. Scripps laid off like 20-30 full time staff, others like Soren Bowie and Michael Swaim left w/o being laid off, costs were cut and they were able to sell cracked to some other company.
