Twitch says it will lay off 400 employees
According to the LinkedIn company profile, a little over 13 thousand. I don't know how reliable of a number that is.

That’ll be a lot of people who are streamers on twitch with it listed on their LinkedIn profile. I’d ballpark closer to 2,000 actual employees — maybe 1,500 as a conservative estimate.

Glassdoor and Owler both say Twitch has between 1,000 and 5,000 employees. Your ballpark is in the ... errr... ballpark.

Recent history has shown us that behind every 10 thousand strong tech team, stands twenty engineers maintaining the entire stack.
edit: downvote all you want, but it is clear that there is so much fluff in a tech company 2023
