GoPro is coming to terms with reality. Despite its best efforts, it's just a camera company.
The above line was written over a year ago (http://mashable.com/2016/11/30/gopro-layoffs-restructuring/) by Mashable's Kerry Flynn but the line is just as true now as it was in November 2016.

On Monday, GoPro confirmed reports (https://techcrunch.com/2018/01/04/gopro-cuts-200-300-jobs-largely-impacting-its-drone-division/) of layoffs, reducing its current workforce to fewer than 1,000 people, and announced it was exiting the drone business.

GoPro CEO Nick Woodman on CNBC just now said that he’d be open to being acquired “to scale GoPro even bigger” #hardwareishard (https://twitter.com/hashtag/hardwareishard?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)
