Netflix is laying off staff from the fan site it just launched
Netflix is laying off some Tudum editorial staff just months after launching the website that publishes news, interviews, and other fan content. Tudum falls under the company’s marketing division and includes people working on entertainment, news, lifestyle, and culture content.
Most of the 10-person Tudum culture and trends team was let go, according to one person with knowledge of the situation.
