    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.

    • @roythousand13

      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!

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.
