[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 tv watching in general has declined 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]

Yeah, no. TikTok and homemade youtube videos are not replacing Hollywood.There's been a huge spike in demand for quality programming over the past 8 years. But the business is changing. Now that everyone has a nice tv and covid breaking some habits, people aren't going to theaters like they used to. And that's not coming back. Also, people stream. Besides live sports, no one is watching regular television anymore. But the demand for quality writing and quality acting has never been higher. The business model and the way things are delivered has changed. But not the demand. And it's the writers and actors that deliver the goods. Not executives, who are very replaceable.     [/quote]
