It's just to document the current trend of layoffs

Yes, its because of that trend, but it’s a nothing article just trying to make a nothingburger newsworthy. Likely a little bit of negative press for them courtesy of competitors too.

I hope they lay off their users too

I have a family member who complains their phone gets hot and is slow.

New phone that I just setup for them. Can't convince 'em it's from TikTok.

Which is hilarious considering their recruiters are still in my fucking inbox at least once a week on LinkedIn.

New people are cheaper than the people they picked up during the hiring frenzy at the height of the pandemic.

Maybe they'll get AI to watch and obversely make the videos in a never ending spiralling loop.
