Please don't fulminate on HN. Thoughtful critique is fine, rage is not. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Greed implies excessive accumulation of wealth. Based on the public statements, they are laying people off because they cannot afford to keep paying them while keeping the project afloat. It doesn't seem like greed is a factor here.

AI putting people out of work is a very real issue, and it is discussed on HN quite often. Here we have a very real example of it (apparently) and the reaction is vitriolic, but not against the AI processes, but the creators who are losing their work.

There definitely is greed involved. But the other way around

He's still trying to figure it out. I've been a customer for years now and I've rarely ever bought a product that is an user-friendly and user-respecting as Tailwind UI (Tailwind Plus). If you've never had to lay people off before, it is an absolutely gut wrenching experience, surely moreso when you have to be the one to make the call. Let the man be a human and experience some emotions. I have a lot of faith that he'll make the right call.
