The writers strike continues and according to this report many people on the inside don’t expect it to end before September.
It’s not like thousands of movies and tv shows that people already haven’t seen don’t exist. We probably have a whole century’s worth of content, no need to enrich corporate fucks any more than we already have
The point of the strike is that the writers are trying to get a fair share of the money they bring in for those corporate fucks, and also secure some protections for their jobs against AI. I agree that there’s a ton of old content available, but I selfishly do want to see new things come out, and less selfishly this is impacting regular people who work on these shows (technicians, set designers, caterers, plenty of people aside from the Corporate Fucks). I hope the writers get a fair deal soon.
