I think the studios will eventually run out of content. I’m guessing network tv is going to start feeling the pain next month, but streamers will start feeling it next year. On top of running out of content, the quality of content has gone down. You can blame everybody, but it doesn’t help when corporate sits in writer rooms and make (hand quote), suggestions.
If you look at all the content catalogs that these studios, it would literally take several lifetimes to watch it all. Also, we still have sports, and RUclips!
AMPTP, WGA, SAG. It’s hard to tell who has the most disregard and disdain for the film and television working class and I. A. T.S.E. Guild and crew. AMPTP, WGA & SAG are all the elites rolled into one. All complaining about how much money the other ones are making while the rest of us fall into debt despair and face down foreclosure. They are all going to find a different attitude from the crews they will be depending on in the future, and it won’t be nice.
Do these unions want to share risks with the studios? There are more projects that fail than those that succeed and make a great profit. Are these writers, actors, and actresses going to cough up money to help produce these projects?
@@roythousand13 Yep. I am not really siding with the ESG compliant studios but these writers and actors won't even try to start their own productions and become independent. They know a project can fail but they'd rather let the studios take the loss while profits should be shared equally.
Honestly, I feel like no really cares. I think they’re demands are warranted. And the producers should meet them all. However, I don’t think they will.
Non essential people who feel so entitled that they deserve to what the highest paid actors are getting. But do they bring in the crowds like them? Of course not.
I don't support the SAG and WGA strikes. These actors, actresses, and writers are being greedy and ultra-selfish. Also, these union leaders are dehumanizing the producers, so the producers don't have no incentive to come back to the bargaining table.
Yep, at the core it is just about money and not really about AI replacing them because if they got paid "properly" with or without AI, then they won't have any issue. in the past, unions went on strike because of poor working conditions leading to deaths, injuries/accidents, lack of health insurance, etc and not just about poor pay.
The writers and actors haven't done anything to win people over. I think they've set their cause back quite a bit. It doesn't help that Hollywood has been putting out poor content on top of everything.
Whenever I watch prime time, it all seems so reductive, borring, and silly...and dubbing laughter into the production does not make me laugh...I have not watched prime time in decades...
Maybe the reason the content was so poor was workers in the industry were working 14+ hours a day, a salary they can’t live on and a lack of healthcare.
And they all go home and watch tv on their streaming channels. Channel 5 KTLA has been off the air for a month. Who will remember KTLA in another month? People just find alternatives.
The less nonsense out of Hollywood the better. Im fine with this strike lasting forever. A plague on both their houses. I'm perfectly happy watching RUclips.
I am a SAG actor. The interim agreements have failed. Hardly anyone is working on them. When we were asked to vote to authorize a strike, there was no notice there would be these interim agreements. We were lied to.
Your union didn't even hire a CFO or a lead counsel before going into this strike. You'd think they'd prioritize that over thumping their chests to an audience that actively despises a lot of them now.
Well, wait as the holidays get closer and closer and the lavish lifestyles get harder and harder to maintain . Hollywood people always fall into keeping up with the Jones.
Wait did the lead negotiater just say "they're very tactical people" Well what was the approach you took. I think you're supposed to be "tactical" too. The silent treatment is called "having the upper hand" which means you really don't need to make a call. After a months of releasing money losing theatrical releases it seems they would like a break from the lousy press. And because none of the viewers are canceling their streaming subscriptions they're actually improving their fiscal performance during this period which will probably improve their bonuses. As the bonus they get to lay off tons of mediocre writers and actors when this is all over using the damage to revenues as an excuse. There's a saying that if you're at a poker table and you don't know who the sucker is, baby it's you! I don't know why I suspect that now that the offer on the table is public you're going to be losing the support of some of the production workers. Just a hunch.
What strike? Just watched MEG2 with 17 of our family members in our 85 inch tv......these guy wants socialism in place😂😂😂😂😂😂....America doesn't support woke Hollywood socialist 😂😂😂😂
Fran overreacted and started whinning and calling studio heads out...she should have stayed calm and NOT call for strike, but started negotiating while everyone was still working...unions do this all the time..but she does not know what she is doing and led the membership over a cliff to drown..Word to you Fran...you dont demand...you negotiate....thats how you handle a situation like this..plus solidarity is not half done...you should have honored the WGA picket lines instead of continuously cross them..of course..now you need them for your cause?? WGA does not trust you...
Doesn't matter if the studios run out of new content. They won't go into a venture where they lose. The actors union don't seem to understand that. They seem to believe that because they exist, businesses should make movies and tv shows. It's the other way around.
I think you should dock writers for excessive use of "f-bomb", rather than real words-give them a thesaurus as part of the signing bonus, when you finally reach agreement. I find that I cannot watch many (most) of the series due to that excessive use. You might consider giving subscribers a rebate for the substitution of the "f-bomb" for real words. Or make actual literacy a requirement for screen writers. I am serious. It becomes more offensive each year.
Stay on strike indefinitely, please and thank you
Pochenko would be proud.

And yet there's The View not seen as scabbing LOL...That show is making their usual content.
Strike for ever, please.
Ai really has them worried

Yep...They never cared about the other industries already replaced by automation.
Share the wealth...
Key Point
The top 1% Hollywood celebrities should share the wealth!!

@@whatevergoesforme5129 ,I agree with 100 percent!
Honestly, I feel like no really cares. I think they’re demands are warranted. And the producers should meet them all. However, I don’t think they will.
They want everyone to be a surf you will own nothing
Sure they are warranted and if successful they will contribute to the demise of hollywood. Who cares, it's entertainment, not heart surgery.
Non essential people who feel so entitled that they deserve to what the highest paid actors are getting.
But do they bring in the crowds like them? Of course not.
Their demands are forcing showrunners to hire writers they don’t need.
In a negotiation, there should be compromise on both sides. It is not about meeting ALL demands or else it is not a negotiation but about mob rule.
I don't support the SAG and WGA strikes. These actors, actresses, and writers are being greedy and ultra-selfish. Also, these union leaders are dehumanizing the producers, so the producers don't have no incentive to come back to the bargaining table.
HA !! Aren't you a Genius !!!🥱
It all comes down to money and control. I hope the strikes keep on going.

What a horrible shame. How unfortunate that La Haina burned down instead of Hollywood.
Yet
And Oprah is greedily rubbing her hands to buy even more land than she already owns on Maui.
She’ll do it undercover though.
Quit destroying beloved IPs with reimagining.
I'm starting to think she really doesn't know what she's doing.
Sag does not have a CFO, lead counsel or chief negotiator, They are negotiating with the largest corporations in the world without lead council
The actors union see it as a political matter against corporations. Not what it is, which is a business negotiation.
Time to learn coding??? Yeah!
I don't watch Network TV. Can't really tell there's a strike at all.
The writers and actors haven't done anything to win people over. I think they've set their cause back quite a bit. It doesn't help that Hollywood has been putting out poor content on top of everything.
Tell that to the 60%+ plus polled who agree with them. You realize the poor content is thanks to the producers who they're striking against. Jeez...
@@dannyf.898260% is soft for a grassroots strike.

Fran knows she's not winning this one, you can hear it in her voice
Sag daily minimum wage is 1080 something dollars a day, the majority of SAG members work less than one day every two weeks,
It’s their choice to work for Hollywood. They should know that going in. They are not kindergartners.
😂 no one cares
Fight The Power...?!... ✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
How ironic, being interviewed by an AI lol
Boy, she would be an effective politician. Highly intelligent. Very eloquent.
Amptp have law firms that have law firms and Sag has Fran running around yelling. Big fail

I bet you they’re insider friends were given a heads up in advance so that they can get themselves on the exempted projects before you had a chance

This is just the beginning
Well, wait as the holidays get closer and closer and the lavish lifestyles get harder and harder to maintain .

Oh, so now empathy, spirtuality...what? Is a frikking labor negotiation, not a church service.
Spirits and ghosts support unions and hate corporate greed.
These sanctimonious actors and writers can kick rocks. Accept what you've been offered, or find new work.
fran drescher is queen
Of losers
She’s a very impressive and intelligent lady. I can see why her colleagues voted 🗳️ for her to represent them all.
I can't

You typed way too much for none of that to be coherent or correct
What strike? Just watched MEG2 with 17 of our family members in our 85 inch tv......these guy wants socialism in place😂😂😂😂😂😂....America doesn't support woke Hollywood socialist 😂😂😂😂
What is the breaking point I wonder? How many artists have to be in poverty before studios either give in or people just start openly scabbing
Don’t agonize, organize, and UNIONIZE 💪🏼
Nah, unions are parasitic
Amén to that Brother...
And learn to code! 😂
❤
This is just sad, this strike need to end ASAP.
Stay strong.
Union!
Murdering people is wrong, though.
