Tulum is one such website which was launched by Netflix in December 2021.
This cohort of BIPOC writers was hired to diversify their websites across various verticals. Among the 150 staff writers and employees that were made to let go from the company, most of them were women of colour, Asian, Latinx women and people from the LGBTQIA+ community.

This certainly created a lot of buzz and shock in the entertainment industry.
In April, Netflix made headlines after losing a whopping 200,000 subscribers in the first quarter of this year.
