Rooster Teeth Is Shutting Down After 21 Years
Variety ^ | 3/6/24 | Todd Spangler

Rooster Teeth is biting the dust after more than two decades.

Parent company Warner Bros. Discovery, after unsuccessful attempts to sell the unprofitable fandom, gaming and comedy entertainment division, is shutting down Rooster Teeth’s operations. RT general manager Jordan Levin announced the shutdown of Austin-based Rooster Teeth at an all-hands meeting Wednesday and in a memo distributed to staff.

The closure of Rooster Teeth will result in layoffs of its approximately 150 full-time employees and will throw dozens of contractors and content creators out of work as well.

Never heard of Rooster Teeth. They were based out of Austin TX, so there is probably a 95% chance they were woke.

Looks like everyone had the same thought: “never heard of ‘em.”

That might be a clue as to their demise...

Their last effort I ran across was an animated girl power series “RWBY.” Low level woke for first few seasons then full tilt with lesbians, trans, oppressed minorities and all the bells and whistles in later episodes.

From the article:

“Rooster Teeth had operated a subscription video-on-demand service from its earliest days, and in 2016 rebranded the service as First”

Sounds like nothing more than a pay per view service......not like thats a competitive industry or anywhere days.

Looks like capitalism works......sink or swim.

Lost lots of business to YouTube. Good. Less digital jobs. Maybe creators and staffers can learn how to garden and cook.....and talk to real palpable people.

lol. I had to google...

Cattle have 3 major teeth types: incisors, premolars, and molars. The incisors appear toward the front of the mouth and only on the bottom jaw of cattle. The front of the upper jaw is a hard dental pad without teeth.

In a chicken’s beak there is a row on the gum line that is serrated like a saw blade, but soft.
