YouTube's parent company, Google, is cutting 100 employees from YouTube as part of cost-trimming measures. This follows previous layoffs and aims to reduce bureaucracy and embrace artificial intelligence. The affected employees, mainly from YouTube's operations and creator management teams, have been notified. The company has been struggling with ad revenue and increasing competition from platforms like TikTok. This move aligns with Google's broader efforts to streamline and refocus, as seen in previous workforce reductions. Other tech companies have also announced layoffs in the new year. The affected YouTube employees have 60 days to find new roles within the company.
