There's also stories like craigslist and reddit. It's an uncomfortable reality that the future of many industries are going to need far fewer people on the payroll.
- notatoad 14y agoi'm not familiar with craigslist's staffing, but reddit is a great example of why a website with 500k users can't survive on a staff of 4 people. It is amazing what they did with a small team, but it was very clear that they needed a larger team, both on the technical/engineering side of things and on the advertising/sales side of things. The amount of money they were making was shameful for a site with their traffic, and the site performance was (and continues to be) equally shameful.
- Evbn 14y agoThey have like 11 happily employee people, and millions of happy users on that "shameful" site.
