The savings plan released for a few months in Webedia continues to make victims. The web giant behind sites such as Allociné, Purepeople and Jeuxvideo.com, will end the “MVP: My Professional Life” project, its media released on social networks in the summer of 2024, according to the information collected by Tech & Co.
The project, whose kick had been carried out on September 4, 2024, was presented as “a new digital medium (sic) that opens the doors of the professional world to young generations.”
A medium that has not found his audience
Webedia had associated with presenter Samuel Etienne, head of “questions for a champion” but also Streamer on Twitch. Several programs have been launched, including a live bimensual program and several short formats for social networks.
But for these media, which wanted to “explore happiness at work” through the development of topics around the “true and optimistic” stories, he did not find his audience. With only 16,000 subscribers on YouTube, 15,900 on Instagram and 20,500 on Tiktok, the public was not there:
“MVP: My Professional Life” is a new victim of the Savings Plan established by Webedia for several months. After the limited game of his previous boss, Cédric Siré, was Christian Bombrun, an old Orange, who took his place, with the aim of revaluing the strong brands of the group belonging to the Fimalac fund.
Emissions and short contracts continue
According to the information collected by Tech & Co, the savings plan sees large and shakes other formats. After stopping the “newspaper” of Jeuxvideo.com, a news format in the video games transmitted on social networks, is “tech on me” what stops. Despite the good audiences, the Technological News program presented by the YouTubeur García PP did not find a sponsor.
In addition, Webedia has also completed many fixed -term contracts (CDD) and independent in recent weeks. The savings plan must last at least until the end of the year. Internally, employees believe they have already given a lot: “We are less and less, but we must always do more,” specifies one of them.
To try to improve things, Webedia has implemented, according to our information, editorial processes using generative artificial intelligence. An example: good plans. In Jvtech, for example, articles of “good offers” are mainly written by AI, as well as certain long video formats. “Then they are corrected and in depth by an editor,” specifies a source.
Contacted in these different Tech & Co, webedia did not answer us.
