I just saw a post complaining about the Mozilla layoffs.
I wanted to point out that the vast majority of their income (over 85% in 2022) is from having Google as the default search engine - Ironically, the anti monopoly lawsuit against Google will end this.
Expect things to get worse.
Please don’t assume it was just a cruel choice.
Mozilla could have allowed people the option to subscribe for a modest fee in addition to giving it away for free, to diversify their income and be less dependent on Google, but they have not been trying that hard to develop other revenue streams.
corpo parasites at the top were paid off to gut it from within… signal is going the same route imho
What’s signal doing now?
