Patreon cuts 20% of staff — 93 employees laid off

Creator platform Patreon is laying off approximately 93 employees, representing 20% of its workforce. CEO Jack Conte stated in an internal memo that the cuts are not driven by a belief that "AI replaces humans," but acknowledged that artificial intelligence has "fundamentally transformed the tech industry, including how we work." The move is the latest in a wave of tech-sector layoffs in 2025.
