I just learned that Patreon is laying off 20% of its workforce. This follows a previous reduction of 17% last year, which was part of a broader strategy to streamline operations. The CEO, Jack Conte, has been vocal about embracing AI tools to enhance the company's services for creators, but it seems the company is still facing challenges that require significant workforce cuts. It's disheartening to see such a well-known platform making these tough decisions, especially after already closing offices in Dublin and Berlin.
