The sorry state of streaming residuals shows why SAG and the WGA are striking.

    You should support the actor’s and writer’s strike. That’s what I’ll keep bringing up here, do what you can to make things change.

      I have been supporting it. I haven’t starred in a single Holywood movie since it began and I haven’t written shit.

        That won’t not a permanent option for some of us now, right?

        Do what you can, that’s all any of us can hope for.

        It’s small, but just talking about it and send a message of support on social media is appreciated.

        Maybe they’ll even actually see it.

        refuse to watch, read, play, or otherwise engage with anything created by an AI… we just make it a fundamental demand… we don’t want any of that shit…

        The only thing that would make a difference is boycotting Hollywood productions, and no one is ever going to do that, because we need our bread and circuses.

        Edit: I’m not saying people have an obligation to boycott, by the way, and I suspect a boycott would just end the strike a little sooner. In any case, hopefully this will all end with the actors and writers getting fairer compensation.

          Actually boycotting ironically hurts in this situation.

          Writers and actors are encouraging people to keep watching and taking about shows & movies because that underscores the value they bring and are trying to get recognition for, ultimately bolstering their case.

          Keep watching anything and everything folks!
