Asking myself the same question. With the previous layoffs they were around 7500 people. That is mind boggling.

What do the all do all day??

Apparently in 2014 the entire company only had 1354 employees.

Support? Now replaced by a LLM? It seems the trend…
That's quite the leap you made there to get dramatic about LLMs takin' our jerbs. It seems to be a trend...

Support is not likely it, it's not the type of app that requires a lot of human support in the first place, tbh, I'd be surprised if you can even talk to a live person. Even if it was support, those would probably be the lowest-paid employees and not help much in cost cutting. Not sure what a LLM would even provide for Spotify support that a static FAQ couldn't.
