[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel sorry for all the regular grunts suffering through this strike. Like a PP said, that's the vast majority living on limited income to begin with and now nothing.[/quote]

Ok but if you can barely survive than maybe being an actor isn't a great job and they should move on to something else.

Movie sales and [b]tv watching in general has declined[/b] and it's not going to go back up because time and technology are moving on and Hollywood is stuck back in the 1950s.  Content that is created by average people in their home is gaining more viewing time these days than a produced tv show with professional actors and that trend is going to continue. It's hard when your industry finally comes to terms with technology. [/quote]
While I agree with you about content created by average people is popular, I don't think TV watching has declined. It's the way television is watched that's changed. It used to be easier to track. A DVD was sold, a network played it at a certain time and generated $X revenue through the commercials played. Now with streaming, the math is all different, and so while an actor or writer used to make a couple bucks every time something they were in aired, now they're paid a couple of pennies. YouTube stars are not going to replace House of the Dragon or Succession. There's still a demand for big budget television. [/quote]
