Restructuring Costs [Abstract]  
Restructuring Costs Restructuring Costs
In February 2024, the Company announced plans to reduce expenses by implementing an approximately 16% reduction in the then-current workforce (after the Disposition, as discussed within Note 19 herein). In doing so, the Company reduced the size of its centralized operations to enable its individual brands to operate with more autonomy and deliver against their differentiated value propositions for advertisers. The reduction in workforce plan was intended to position the Company to be more agile, sustainable, and profitable. The Company incurred approximately $2.9 million of restructuring costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, comprised mainly of severance and related benefits costs, of which $1.2 million were included in cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization, $1.5 million were included in sales and marketing, and $0.2 million were included in general and administrative.
Additionally, in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Complex Sale Agreement”), dated as of February 21, 2024 between a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Commerce Media Holdings, LLC., pursuant to which the Disposition was consummated, Commerce Media reimbursed the Company for approximately $1.8 million in payments related to “Non-Transferring Employees” (as defined in the Complex Sale Agreement), including severance. The
amount of these severance and related charges are not included within the restructuring charges noted above. The Company treated the reimbursement as an expense reimbursement.
In April 2023, the Company announced plans to reduce expenses by implementing an approximately 15% reduction in the then-current workforce. The reduction in workforce plan was part of a broader strategic reprioritization across the Company in order to improve upon profitability and cash flow. The Company incurred approximately $6.8 million of restructuring costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, comprised mainly of severance and related benefit costs, of which $4.3 million were included in cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization, $1.3 million were included in sales and marketing, $0.4 million were included in general and administrative, and $0.8 million were included in research and development.
