Content should be thought of as an investment, because the value it returns extends over many years: some of the most valuable and popular DigitalOcean tutorials were written over a decade ago. For that reason, losing people responsible for writing new tutorials is not going to have a negative impact on developers relying on their tutorials in the short term, rather, DigitalOcean will suffer years from now when they have competitors using the content vacuum to steal marketshare. Teams that are an investment in the future are the first to go in a difficult financial climate, it's natural, it doesn't really speak to DigitalOcean's attitude towards developers.
