It was a major bummer when Spotify bought Gimlet Media because it was clear what was going to happen. Inevitably Spotify then laid off 200 of the Gimlet team 3 or so years after the purchase and, while the demise of Reply All was not Spotify's fault, Reply All's ending occurred not long after Spotify purchased the studio and around when the workers wanted to unionize.
