And it just keeps getting worse for GoPro.
To recap, the floundering action cam company has been in poor financial health for years. Hundreds of staffers packed up their desks and skateboards in a round of layoffs affecting between 200 and 300 staffers over the weekend.

Yes!

It’s unclear if there is an interested buyer for the company.
We may be jumping the gun here, but just in case – lets pour one out for GoPro. You were always too extreme for this mundane, price-conscious planet.
