they got streaming royalties written into their contract right before Netflix and the other services really blew up. I don't like unions, but that was a very forward-looking move from them. South Park racked up a rare L by mocking the unions for wanting royalties from the internet, because that wasn't a thing yet. South Park ended up getting hundreds of millions of dollars in streaming deals, a revenue source they predicted wouldn't exist.
Chat GPT is already writing better scripts than anything humans can write, and it does it for free, and it takes mere minutes to write what would take dozens of humans weeks or months or more.
These fricking writers are in for a rude awakening whenever they open their fricking eyes.
These homosexuals are insane. They're demanding a new writer for every episode of TV series. So basically if Taylor Sheridan or Mike White just wanted to write their own thing, they'd be contractually obligated to pay a staff of subhuman "writers" for doing nothing.

It sounds great, but unless you kill all those people, they will get together and have meetings and decide on how they're going to sabotage you and they have contacts and connections hidden all over the place, and they have money to spend and favors to call in.
You can't disenfranchise a whole massive industry of bloodsucking parasites, don't you think if it was fricking easy, somebody would have done it by now?
Remember, parasites always have barbed suckers. The best way to remove one is to never let it attach in the first place.
Hopefully not till the all get fired and will be desperate enough to scoop up any new talent they can find that's not a diversity hire. I could write circles around these people
I’m glad the proletariat are standing up for themselves. Just look at them there!
So comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale unites the human race.
Ask yourself, how the last one ended.
How did it end?
it didn't
With the rise of reality shows
All the good writers left and writing has been terrible ever since

I hope it lasts forever and Hollywood never sullies another cinema screen again.
who?
Who fricking cares
How can we extend the strike?
>I heard Disney say that the writers would crack any minute
Until streaming services feel the effect
Keep streaming and subscribing
Help propagate and promote AI screenwriting. That's the big thing on the table.
will the israelites cave in and give the writers a raise?
i dont see how they can ignore them imposing a pause on any ongoing films for much longer

Why not just hire new writers fresh out of Yale?
Because then the screen actor's guild and director's guild and the gaffers union and all the others will refuse to work on your project.

Would be if there was a chance of that ever happening.

If you can afford to strike for over a month you 100% definitely were getting paid too much before not too little.
Rule of thumb for showbiz union fellers is to have three months cash on hand in case of a strike.
Why would I care about the writers going on strike when everything good has already been made?
hopefully never
hope they all starve
The strike is still going on?
I’m glad the proletariat are standing up for themselves. Just look at them there!
So comrades, come rally

What do they eat?
You remember that TV commercial about how you can donate money to feed poor, starving holocaust survivors?
Well, in reality, all that money goes to a fund which the Hollywood israelites keep for just such an emergency as this.
You didn't think that money really went to a bunch of old ladies with rags on their heads in Israel, did you? Frickin' A.
I genuinely forgot about the strike until I saw this thread.
