  Kind of unrelated, len("two dozen") vs. len("24") doesn't seem very efficient.

    "Two dozen" gives a sense that it's not a precise number, corroborated by the use of the word "roughly" in the lede.

  No, but it is interesting that the layoffs are concentrated in the "content" division. Maybe a sign of where the company wants to head (or not head) next.

  Agreed, Snap is a big company with high compensations. This could just mean letting bottom 1.5% go based on the performance reviews.
