Plex, the media server app company, has laid off 37 employees, which accounts for more than 20% of its workforce. The layoffs have affected every department within the company. This comes as Plex faces challenges in monetizing its business, particularly in the free, ad-supported (FAST) movies and shows and live TV segments.
Plex's ad business has been significantly impacted by the downturn in global advertising markets. The uncertainty surrounding ad markets and pricing has led Plex to take measures to reach profitability, including aiming to become cash-flow positive within the next 18 months. To achieve profitability under these circumstances, the company has decided to significantly reduce personnel expenses.
Plex will be restructuring its operations around four main product areas and a few shared services.
