If I want to be honest the G4 pony hype was a perfect storm. It pretty much used up both the social media revolution, the rise of memes and the coming push for nerd culture and fandoms combined with a really dedicated early fanbase.
I doubt I will see anything similar to it ever again. And let's not forget that the early 2010s internet was way more innocent than now. People got upset over cartoon ponies.
It was a fun time to be around.
I am still around mlp a little bit due to a sense of loyalty. Things got stale, that's for sure.
