The threat that we won’t have new shows and movies coming out because of the strikes would hit a little harder if 99.9% of everything coming out wasn’t God awful derivative schlock that you watch once and immediately forget.
“Due to the strike we’ve had to turn the diarrhea machine off”
there’s some truth to this for the most popular titles but yall also know that streaming brought incredible strides in diversity and actually really wonderful shows and TV and the studios FUCKED them with low marketing budgets and cancellations so only the crap floated to the top right?
they used diversity both in front of and behind the camera as a GROWTH HACK to get streaming to where it is today because people who hadnt been served before finally were served, and then the studios all started immediately canceling shows, firing DEI staff, and making marketing budgets and staff so small that the best stuff could never be noticed in the endless stream of Content TM.
it actually doesn’t help the workers to say shit like this because for every crap ass franchise bullshit out there, there is a original, interesting show some writer hauled ASS to get made that barely got any attention bc it was lost in the content mill.
