I genuinely think that the best remedy to this is to give SAG and the WGA everything they want in negotiations. It would fundamentally alter the economics of streaming if they are subject to the same sort of residuals and writer's room requirements as traditional media.
If the media corporations have their way, they're gonna break the strike by outlasting them until they "start losing their homes" from being out of work for so long that they're forced to acquiesce. Then we're gonna really get awful content as no one will be able to take any significant risks to write a weird TV pilot or make a unique movie.
I thought that we were already there.
