Notion Mail, Mechanical Turk, Fiverr, Relay, a bunch of Salesforce, Upwork, Gitlab (~15% layoffs), Atlassian (lots of layoffs already - more product cuts coming), Stack Overflow, ...

Wow I had no idea Mechanical Turk closed. I assumed it would be quite valuable for doing a lot of data labelling type of work that percolates into AI models.
