Who are those competitors? The subject company is tho only one I know of like this. But I am not really active in the creative space so I'm ignorant.

This is pure negativity and not true. Hiring might slow down because of seasonality overall, but I was hired the last two times end of year. It's a great time to get new employees ramped up when things are slower. A polite reminder that some companies are growing really fast and are even struggling with hiring.
Just wanted to throw in my $0.02 here as well. I've been hired in November/December twice in my career without issue.

It takes a LOT of work to "earn a living off your looks" Ignoring the time spent setting up shoots, editing, engagement, etc, and focusing just on "looks", you have to spend a lot of time on working out, make up, shaving, putting together outfits, etc. If you think that looking good is something that doesn't take any hard work, it's because you've never tried to put in that work yourself.
Anything you do to make yourself look good has only incremental effect; you must already have a "good" foundation (genetics, race, etc.) An African American woman, for example, has almost zero chance of making it to the top 10 p$rnstars list, no matter how much she put effort and time to prepare herself. Some things are just the realities of the world. Thinking otherwise makes you delusional.

Hire more managers who hire even more people 5. You are now a complicated mess and can't get anything done 6. Run out of money 7. Fire people and write a sad post. Continue to collect hefty CEO salary. Why not just stop at 2?
You don’t need VC cash to start a successful company but the time horizon is much longer.

Healthcare until the end of the year. Mental care up to 6 months. They contracted a placement company to place the laid off staff to other companies in the sector. A lot of those people will already get hooked up by a company within a week or so,…
Mid-November through December is a hiring no-man's land due to the accumulation of end-of-year vacations and family trips. Most of these employees have about a month and a half before the shutdown begins and they are stuck scrambling to try to find work in the new year.
