Content team at KukuFM is the worst. High time they revamp and reorg.

Worst? Just because they create content that you don't consume makes it worst? I pity your world view

I bought kukuFM Premium subscription for my Father in Feb’24, since he loves listening audio books, but later after 4-5months saw AI chatbot with erotica content and soft porn stories and all kinda bs in it

Why do you need 700 people to run a company which converts books into audio content or just creating any audio content in general? That business shouldn't need more than 120-150 people

Layoffs are like pressing a 'green color' flush button in the bio toilet of Indian Railways. When they are done with the shit. Layoffs happen just like that.

Pocket FM is also seeing layoffs. Any idea what the reason is cost cutting, or something else? There is a layoff in the content team and also in Tech team.
