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.

A surfboard-stealing otter is on the run
That could be the title of a song.
As far as the writer's strike goes, crap writing is sometimes the fault of studio exec interference and/or feedback from loudmouth idiots in focus groups.
Most script writers actually don't make very much money. Even for some fairly big films. Add in the fact that they constantly get their ideas stolen after they pitch them to studio execs and the execs just reject them and then turn around and use the ideas.
