You can see it happen in reverse with X/Twitter.
Did reducing waste affect the user experience or uptime of Twitter? Not really.
But advertising revenues plummeted, because those extra employees were mostly not about the user experience or keeping the website up, they were about servicing the advertisers that brought the company revenue.
