I was thinking the same thing. In addition, there have been a ton of tech/startup related layoffs, its odd that this one is getting so much attention and support from the community.

Edit: Perhaps I'm a bit bitter, as I was laid off because of the pandemic after 4+ years at my previous employer, and left on my own to figure things out. I imagine the experience was the same for others in a similar situation.

tech/startup culture loves the "making the world a better place" is such a crock, but i believe that Mozilla actually does. i do have more sympathy from a Mozilla layoff than somewhere like FB/Twitter/Uber/etc.

They were warned about taking money and relying on Google for several years, now the money has dried up and the curtain has been pulled back from them, they only have a bookmark manager and a VPN as paid services to show for it.

Sad indeed.
