Man, I hope businesses that rely on SEO for views are ready for Google to try and capture more of that revenue for themselves. These layoffs sure make it seem like they're going to focus pretty heavily on #enshittification (thanks @doctorow ) and pulling the rug from under a loooot of sites that built a business around their search product.

Given SEO is seen as a key tech that helps people find a business,web designers are really pushing this part of their web design services.
If this happens the main group who will suffer will probably be sole traders and SMEs who need every penny they earn to help make ends meet and keep going.
