4 High Profile Creators Fired by Channel Awesome

Channel Awesome, aka The Guy With The Glasses fired 4 high profile and long standing members of their network this week. Lindsay Ellis (The Nostalgia Chick,) Phelous, Allison Pregler (Obscurus Lupa,) and Andrew Dickman (longtime thumbnail artist for Ellis, Phelous and Pregler,) were all removed from Channel Awesome's website entirely in one fell swoop over the weekend.

The parting of ways was a very volatile one and a massive blow to what was considered one of the most successful Multi Channel Networks in the web space.

This is a complete shock to the system on so many levels but hopefully everyone involved will continue to make great videos and continue to make a living doing it.
