This is evident in categories like CRM or email, which have seen an increase in average contract value over the past three years.

Amazon has been aggressively cutting back on editorial staff across many publications, leading to the loss of industries giants like The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. For smaller sites like DPReview, layoffs mean that less knowledgeable people are working to review cameras and other electronics products. It’s uncertain what will become of these reviews now that they’re gone, but they’ll be sorely missed.
