THE AI LAYOFFS HAVE COME FOR FREELANCE MARKETPLACE FIVERR

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Fiverr is laying off approximately 250 employees (30% of staff) as CEO Micha Kaufman transforms the 16-year-old freelance marketplace into an "AI-first company." Kaufman described the cuts as a "painful reset" to create a leaner operation with fewer management layers and greater productivity per worker.
