It’s been a turbulent period for workers in the creator economy. Last month, we collected information on seven such startups, including 120 people at celebrity course provider MasterClass and 90 people at Picsart, which provides photo and video editing tools.
In addition to those, at least five other creator startups have laid off staff in recent weeks, according to a layoff tracker by the website TrueUp. These include Lightricks, which develops image and video editing apps, StreamElements, a livestreaming service, online class providers Domestika and Skillshare and social commerce startup CityMall.
