It is, which is why I watch for sales, then use points for discounts.

Their stuff holds up well, I certainly have no complaints about the quality.

You have to be a moron. Really, not kidding. It's not even close to funny. It makes little sense. You and the dopes who green lighted this have to have a few synapses misfiring.

My guess is they have a PE sponsor and therefore a board voted him out

President too.

May as well shut it all down at this point. The ad was stupid but the mishandling of the Response to it is a Master Class in corporate frick ups.

Clearly this is just fake outrage and no real backlash.

Has there been a bigger failure than Good Good? A relatively small YouTube channel somehow got their stuff into Dick’s, Callaway, and then was sponsoring a PGA Tour Event, then lost it all in 15 seconds.

Gen Z doesn’t even play Golf. It’s still a game for old people. These douche bags almost got rich before the grownups realized “why are we using these people who aren’t gonna sell anything” for us.

Bottomline is if the juice was worth the squeeze, these companies would still be using them. But I think they realized how useless Gen Z influencers are to a population 50+ that are the ones actually spending money on golf

Agree. We are mostly adults in here, are you guys running out and grabbing hats that say “good good?” Of course not. They had their five mins.

100 million dollar company built from literally nothing.

We have very different ideas about failure. The main source of their revenue is still intact.

A YouTube channel with 2 million subs isn’t worth a fraction of that. Use your brain

They may not be worth $100 million but before this fiasco it was well documented they had around 40 million in apparel sales last year and had a $45 million seed round.

Sold part of the company for 45 million last year to Peyton Manning’s investment group. Part…not even controlling interest, do the math.

The apparel sales through their website dwarf anything Dicks, Golf Galaxy or anyone else did of their merchandise.

They didn’t go looking for Target or Callaway, those companies went looking for them. They grew way past YouTube revenue years ago.
