Apparently they just laid off all their paid hosts for their non-main streaming series "Hotfix".

I forgot that's a catch-all brand for the vast vast majority of their non-GDQ streams. So 90+% of their content just got axed. And I'm sure if it 'comes back' it will be unpaid low quality stuff.
GDQ, LLC, might be seeing the writing on the wall. But hey, they just put out calls for the nigger and tranny (well okay 'women') specific competitions so that's still on.

Seems a little strange for a group that are so progressive and forward thinking to immediately cut off their on screen "talent" before making cuts in the higher levels. Almost like they don't actually care and it's all about money.

It's more shocking that hosts were getting paid when runners weren't.
I'm also certain that Hotfix isn't going away - they're just going to use volunteer hosts because Hotfix is garbage.

Nobody even watches hotfix, literally how did they afford to pay people in the first place.

It's almost over already? Gee I barely even remember it starting. In fact, I've only seen one mention of it within my circle this year, which is less than the previous one.
Even within normie gaming circles, people aren't really giving a fuck anymore. The one mention instance was from an "ally", so figures that's about the minimum required for fucks to be given.

It seems like the general/grassroots support for GDQ has largely died off likely thanks in part to the organization embracing the gender cult fully. This seems to be at odds with how much the events bring in however which leads me to assume that there are people or organizations with specific motives keeping this scam show afloat. Viewership is trending down and the average donation amount always seems weirdly inflated. Also the messages that are read sound manufactured. GDQ is a shell of what it once was and it's being propped up for idpol reasons.
Anyways earlier this week I played "guess the runner's pronouns" with a friend by looking through the video thumbnails on the GDQ channel. I was batting about a .800.

It's not about the gender stuff - it's just the quality of the show(s) has tanked drastically. People were always willing to wade through garbage to find fun - now it's just mostly garbage.
For one - it's too many fucking shows. It used to be a fun annual event (GDQ), then went up to twice a year (SGDQ) and then they just went off the fucking rails with it. Hotfixes runs every fucking day, "Frame Fatals" (lol 'Women' only) at least three times a year, two seperate mini marathons that are black only, tons of smaller events - it's way more programming than a person is reasonably going to watch about speedrunning. They completely lost the plot about being an event and are trying to be something entirely different - but there just isn't enough change in speedrunning to justify the effort.
The runners are also garbage - with GDQ flooding speedrunning programming, most of the good runners decided "fuck it, I'll just stream" because why not - the main events aren't special anymore. It's not like GDQ looks out for anyone or pays anyone. A lot of runs are just not very good. Watching the Sekrio Hitless run as I write this and "oopsie whoopsie I got hit".
Production quality is way the fuck down - with most side events being embarrassingly amateur. But if you were to watch GDQ right now, it would look barely different than most of the events over the last 10 years. If you watch one of the mini marathons - it's just an overlay thrown onto some very garbage streams complete with man voices and vtuber avatars.

Damn, there's some great speedgames on this list, I wonder what retarded categories and gimmicks they imposed to fuck them up.

The stipulation is "non-competitive speedrun being done by a man pretending to be a woman".

Halo 2 was any% legendary cis male%, tolerable but the routing hasn't changed much since monopoli ran it ten years ago, aside from one very cool major skip on gravemind that I don't remember seeing before. Very clean but pretty bland.
Halo 3 is any% legendary 4 player coop cis male%, actually seems pretty hype so far, pretty technical and fast paced, reminds me of the older L4D and Borderlands runs.

I can't edit the previous post but a few corrections and a more useful raw data. I should do the same thing for GDQ what the guy on the JimQuisition thread does.
