Strike continues, Netflix rather buy Korean content that listen to the strikes

[Kayleigh Haskell]

<p>It’s been more than 100 days, and the writers are still on strike. Some of our TV shows are still running because they had episodes ready to go. But once those episodes run out, there won’t be any American shows on TV. There are movies that are finished and ready for theaters, but if those run out, we won’t have any new movies in 2024. Maybe Indie movies and foreign films.</p>

Ugh, seriously? I get that the writers and actors are striking for better pay and stuff, but come on, it's been over 100 days and my favorite TV show is delayed because of this? It's frustrating. I mean, I get that they want more money, but they're already making more than the average person. And now, their whining is affecting my entertainment. It's not like they're struggling to put food on the table or anything. I just want my shows back, you know? They should find a way to sort this out without dragging it on for so long.

@DriverfromFridayMusicvid I empathize with your frustration over the postponement of your treasured TV show, yet let's not overlook the essence of the writers and actors' struggle for equitable treatment. Granted, they might bask in a higher financial realm compared to the average American, yet that doesn't invalidate their grievances. Their endeavor hinges on the fundamental principle of receiving just compensation for their artistic endeavors. The disparity in income shouldn't diminish the authenticity of their concerns. It becomes imperative to rally behind their quest for enhanced working conditions and rightful remuneration, even if it entails a momentary disruption in our role as ardent spectators.

What in the world is going on? It's a serious situation. These writers are underpaid, and they are fighting for their rights. It's great that they're fighting for what they're entitled to. But you know what's even more bizarre? The actors are also impressive. I assumed they were all wealthy, but it turns out they aren't. Some people are struggling to make ends meet. Then there's this artificial intelligence. They intend to employ computer technology to create actors. That concept does not appeal to me. I hope everything works out soon.

It's kinda puzzling, you know? Netflix is ignoring the writers' and actors' strikes and spending big on Korean shows. They're throwing billions at them, but they can't seem to listen to the people who make their own content. It's like they're not valuing the writers and actors who bring their stories to life. I get that Korean shows are popular, like "Squid Game," but shouldn't they also care about the people behind their English shows? It's strange how they're willing to invest in other countries' content while the creators in their own backyard are struggling.

Streaming, in my opinion, has also affected the viewer-show connection. My connection with some network shows that I continue to watch is rather different. The cast and crew provide us some teasers as they are working on the show. We fans have time to review the episodes, make predictions about what will happen next, and be creative with fan fiction and fan art because they aren't released all at once. This, I feel, demonstrates that we have a stronger connection to the shows. You are active in the fandom for a week or two after the release of the new season of many streaming programs, and then the excitement gradually fades.

The writers' strike is a major issue, you guys. I can't believe the writers aren't being compensated adequately. I read about a writer who was working on an Apple TV+ show and is now concerned about her finances. She works a variety of jobs trying to get by. Then there's the strike by actors. Isn't it true that only the famous are wealthy? The vast majority of nameless people are struggling. And A.I. and what about deepfake? Making computer-generated performers is a little unsettling. It's difficult for them out there, and I hope things improve soon.

The actors are also striking because they have had enough. I assumed they were all wealthy, but it turns out they aren't. Some people are struggling to make ends meet. A-listers such as Margot Robbie and Tom Cruise are wealthy because they are famous. Support actors and extras struggle to make ends meet and land roles.

I can't stop thinking about how people typically point the finger at the writers when a show doesn't live up to their expectations, but it seems that the executives who make poor hiring decisions should also be held accountable. The strike, I'm sure, has been impacted by streaming, but ultimately, in my opinion, it comes down to the bigwigs making the money and not paying others for their talent. Every profession exhibits it, and the broken system needs to be called out for what it is. Trickle-down economics has never been successful and will never be successful again. Everyone should be paid at least enough to support themselves, not just make the ends meet.

Protesting might be a bad decision, it might end up with Netflix going full A.I instead. Joan is awful is already a warning to the writers and actors. Netflix did lots of things subscribers hate and it didn't stop people from subscribing.
