Sure but the future is uncertain and when you’re selling ads it’s hard to control revenue. It’s much easier to control expenses.

much less uncertain than any other companies IMO. They're printing money.

Today sure. But remember you have to boil the frog slowly lest it jump away.

They've pretty much thrown the frog straight into the boiling pot havent they?

In april they held a private concer featuring lizzo, then in july tell employees to increase productivity.

From lizzo to layoffs in two months.
