Agreed. This and the recent controversy around the HyperSocial CEO posting an emotional layoff post on LinkedIn makes me wonder if the new trend in layoffs is to try to make us relate more with the CEO than the laid off employees and take some heat off them.

Wait a little longer and they'll be announced on TikTok

Because companies like Patreon come and go. They know it, we know it. So they grasp at straws for a fleeting moment of popularity.

#6Looks like most of the layoffs are in marketing and sales, and that they're still hiring on engineering and product. Honestly, I'm surprised they had marketing and sales people to begin with. Those sorts of efforts pay off most with big-name, high-end artists who probably don't need monthly patrons to be successful. Focusing in improving the product seems like a smarter move, especially given how janky their product was until quite recently.
