I want to support the writers because the paycut was enormous but also they been writing garbo
It does not matter whether or not you like their writing or acting. That is not the point at all. The work they do generates money for these huge ass companies. They should be fairly compensated for that work.That's right.

What's "too much"? What would you pay for a screenplay?Whatever SNL writers make is too much for what I guess is "screenplay"
You have not seen enough shows. Plenty of shows just in the last few years have all been top shelf.fair enough maybe I just been watching didney and marvel
Barry, Ted Lasso, Succession, etc. Plenty of good TV is still being made.
Whatever SNL writers make is too much for what I guess is "screenplay"When you argue to pay them less, you argue that NBC should take more.
I do, but I don't know how much in solidarity I am if I'm still subbing to streaming services.They aren't asking for a boycott (at the current time)
"So what we're gonna do is pay background actors for 1 day of work, make an AI model of them that we own, and then never hire them again because we'll own an AI model of their likeness. This is actually a way of protecting their identity!"
Yes, I support fair practices towards employees and artists even if that means inconveniencing my entertainment.
What the companies tried proposing to the SAG was just completely out of touch

Like, how fucking greedy do you have to be.
Feels like this will be a non-issue soon, when the companies decide "hey, let's just model background people from the ground up". Probably not practical now, but, in a few years?
Yes, I support fair practices towards employees and artists even if that means inconveniencing my entertainment.It's actually much worse. The purpose of that proposal is to destroy the union by removing a large group of members (the background actors) from the union by preventing them from meeting the income threshold for healthcare through the union.

Yes, but I always back labor over bosses. Fuck the fat cats.This, but also super -fuck the bosses' use of "AI" to replace and devalue human labor.
Support worker rights. Video game developers also need to unionize.

Yall do realize a big reason the writing has been garbage is because the bosses have influenced it to be so right? So few original ideas because the bosses would rather take risk averse approaches like prequel, sequel, remakes etc or mine IPs that people love

Im pretty sure the words "somehow Palpatine returned" were the result of frustration of having the big wigs telling you how the story's gonna go. Most of them are pretty capable, but they write for the intended audience. Kinda like classically trained musicians working for pop artist cause it pays the bills.

100%. Solidarity forever

Kinda like classically trained musicians working for pop artist cause it pays the bills.Yes another reason is because they are writing for the audience, and the audience has been dumbed down so much in recent years. We are as much to blame as the studio heads
They should correct the pay formula for streaming platforms but other than that everyone has had a two year vacation. Not time for raises, but we can talk about fairness. Push on everything else.The vast majority of the strikers are just regular people truly to get fairly compensated and be able to pay their bills. They haven't been on a two year vacation.
I got bigger union problems than these fucking guys anyway.
