Solidarity with the striking writers.<p>The film industry has evolved over many strikes and many decades into a powerful industry that sustains many workers in well-paying jobs. The wealth of the studios is built on the backs of the writers and all the other roles which keep this machine running.<p>Workers in the video game industry should learn from Hollywood and take a larger share of the billions made from their labor.
I am feeling sorry for all the people working in production who are now also out of job because the Hollywood writers are on strike.<p>My understanding is that it will basically seem hard stop. No writing, nothing to sell etc. I can even imagine it would affect the places were deals get made like sit-down restaurants etc.
how much of the world is going to be put out by the temporary hiatus of some late-night tv show?<p>in the 90s this would have prompted action...now...who cares?<p>streaming platforms will continue to deploy media produced months ago<p>youtube, tiktok and other forms of entertainment are all "amateur"<p>this will have the unintended consequence of exposing how little impact these writers have
