[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TBH I haven’t even noticed and I doubt I am the only one. Plenty to watch on streaming. I think the strike isn’t having that big of effect so there isn’t a reason for them to take any action. [/quote]

I think people haven't really noticed because it's primarily been over summer.  Back in the old days that's when there were only reruns anyway, and people are traveling and happy to stream Suits or Succession or whatever show they didn't manage to watch the first time around.
Now that the fall season is here and everyone is getting back into the school/work routine, I suspect people will start to notice.  
I heard a podcast yesterday with one of the writers who said there are a few fall shows that had already been completely written and handed off to the show-runner right before the strike started.  But for most shows, the fall episodes are completely blown out of the water already - they should have started working on them in early summer.  And with no short term end in sight, this writer was beginning to think that the entire season is just gone.

I also wonder why the actors/writers haven't called for a consumer boycott.  It wouldn't be massively popular, but I do think it might be enough to catch the studio's attention.  Maybe they're waiting to see how things play out once the fall season doesn't actually start.[/quote]
