The Writers Strike Highlights The TV Industry's Streaming Problem - Variety.
MrsBlue and I were recently discussing the implications of the strike on a
sector that was already in the midst of an upheaval. We've been so spoiled for a
while by the quality of content from what was once considered a vast wasteland.
Hopefully, the industry can right itself without heading into the dark ages. But
if not, there's probably a lifetime of good content from the last 20 years that
we haven't even heard of yet, much less watched.

Follow-up
The movie/TV industry is absolutely at a crossroads and the AMPTP are basically acting like cartoon villains right now. Between refusing to engage on AI with writers to demanding background actors be paid for a day of work and sign over their digital likeness in perpetuity while doing so. Though it should come as no surprise that the multi-billion dollar corps want all the money.

As to the writers strike, I can think of a lot of them that should have been fired. Lately, some of the scripts in major movies have really been bad.
