Amidst the share market crash and subscriber loss Netflix Tudum cut off its editorial arm

Are Tudum Layoffs the First Thing on the List for Netflix?

Tudum is the official Netflix fansite, which has all the extra content on
behind-the-scenes of the shows, trivia, interviews, lifestyle, and culture to
support your favorite show’s fandom. Now, the streamer’s recent loss is
affecting its fansite, as well. It was a black day for the entire department as
25 employees were laid off. These included employees from the company’s
editorial and the marketing team.

This comes following a loss of 200,000 subscribers
[https://netflixjunkie.com/bridgerton-breaks-its-own-record-with-season-2-as-netflix-loses-200000-subscribers-how-such-irony/]
that Netflix incurred in the first quarter of this year. Netflix hadn’t lost a
single subscriber for a decade and so the sudden drop came as a shock. Netflix’s
exit from Russia

following its attack on Ukraine, the hike in subscription fees, and the strong
decline in content quality
[https://netflixjunkie.com/elon-musk-slaps-a-virus-with-an-8-word-tweet-for-netflix-subscribers-loss/],
are the reasons speculated for the drop. This has caused Netflix’s shares to
fall down by 40%! It is the trickle-down effect of the loss of 200,000
subscribers that is making the company make hasty corrective decisions, scaring
the investors away and pulling the share price down.

FORMER NETFLIX TUDUM EMPLOYEES TAKE TO TWITTER POST LAY OFFS

Interestingly, Tudum got its name from the sound we hear when we start a show
and the Netflix logo shows up. Tudum was launched with a big fan event,
consisting of all major Netflix stars. Netflix poached talented people from all
over as a crew for Tudum. They let go of the reputed companies they were working
for to grab the prestigious job. So, unsurprisingly, the lot went to Twitter to
talk about it and ask for jobs after they were laid off. Their obvious anger at
the streaming giant was seen in the series of tweets.

When asked if they’re planning to terminate Tudum [http://www.tudum.com] as a
whole, a Netflix [http://www.netflix.com/] representative said, “Our fan website
Tudum is an important priority for the company.” The news has only shone a bad
light on Netflix’s already tainted reputation. Do you think that by these
lay-offs, they actually decided the end of their fate?
