Patreon is laying off around 93 employees — about 20% of its workforce. CEO Jack Conte wrote in a memo that the cuts are not because 'AI replaces humans,' but acknowledged that AI has 'fundamentally transformed the tech industry, including how we work.' The layoffs reflect wider pressure on tech companies to restructure around AI tools.
