So there are 3 points and I cannot connect the dots on why 93 employees loosing job helps them other than AI replacing them :)

subjective opinion: just calling humans creative and beautiful is not enough.

Market change: he says the market Patreon operates in has changed profoundly over the past six months, so they need to adjust their cost structure to stay stable for creators.

Restructuring: flattening the org, refocusing on priorities, and increasing agility.

Transformation timeline: the shift to a “media and community network” is working but will take time, and the cuts buy them that time “from a position of strength.” …. What does this mean ?
