Unity also had 3 recent mass layoffs. I compiled their headcount since 2004 here: https://www.contextualize.ai/mpereira/the-growth-of-unity-in...

Recently Unity made the headlines for some sketchy changes to their pricing policies. They've since walked back on those changes. Being a game developer, I took the opportunity to look into Unity, the company, and understand more of its history.
I compiled a timeline of their headcount since 2004 based on old articles, and more recently their SEC filings, and used Yahoo Finance for the "U" ticker stock value.
Sources for the events are referenced in the interactive annotations.

I created an interactive annotated chart with a timeline of products Google released in the last 25 years.
You can see more details about each product launch by hovering the annotations.
While doing research to create this chart I also learned that Jennifer Lopez is the reason why Google Images exists, which is pretty funny.
This is the website I used to create this chart (which I also built): https://www.contextualize.ai

I used data from the WHO Mortality Database and the International Mortality And Smoking Statistics to create this annotated chart showing important events in the history of smoking in US.
It took some time to research the whole timeline, and it was shocking to see some of this data. The average adult was smoking more than 10 cigarettes per day in 1960!
The annotations are interactive, so if you hover them you'll see more context about the events.
I also built the tool to make this visualization: https://www.contextualize.ai
