      And?

      They could 100% afford them, it’s not like this is a small company facing bankruptcy. The fact that they need to keep cutting costs in order to keep growing infinitely does not make it right

        I’m not saying that they’re right. I’m just stating that they exclusively care about money. If they can save 500k by firing all the fact checkers and also drive engagement with the ragebait comments under controversial content, it’s a double win for them
