G FUEL is a brand of caffeinated drink mix sold by Gamma Labs, a NY-based company. They are the self-proclaimed “Official Energy Drink of Esports” and differentiate themselves from other energy drinks as a healthy alternative to the traditional sugary, chemically processed drinks on the market. They advertise that their product doesn’t produce any crash effects and offer starter kits, powders, on-the-go options, and other merchandise like t-shirts and shaker bottles.
The company appeals to gamers in the eSports community. Their audience is primarily male gamers, based in the US. Though recently, G FUEL's appeal has broadened beyond the gaming realm to encompass a wider demographic, including fitness enthusiasts, students, and busy professionals seeking an energy boost.

The "Evergreen Score" measures a video's staying power on YouTube. In a nutshell, the Evergreen Score shows how much a video continues to get views after it was published.
We believe that an Evergreen Score range of 0.5-1 is outstanding. Our algorithm compares how many views a video received in the first 30 days after publication compared to the views it received from day 30 to 180. For a video that receives an Evergreen Score over 1, it actually means that after 30 days, it managed to get more views than it did in the first 30 days.
