Almost all of my favorite shows (Rise, Dark Crystal, Inside Job, Infinity Train) were cancelled…BY NETWORKS! Not by writers! Heck! The writers WANTED TO KEEP GOING! To keep making their characters, their art, and their stories told.
Writers are not the problem. Artists are not the problem. They almost never are! Corporations are the problem. Execs are the problem. So many great shows get sabotaged by their own studio (I.E. Rise of the TMNT) and then the studio turns around and acts as though it was the lack of fan engagement. It’s why I tend to watch shows that were made years in the past. They created the problem and now they’re scapegoating writers.
If studios gave up on every show that had a lackluster first season that didn’t pull in the numbers…we wouldn’t have had classics like the Office, OR Parks and Recreation, OR Brooklyn 99. It took a while for those shows to get good.
Writers WANT to create! It’s the studios/corporations that are the problem. It’s A.I. art that is the problem!
Reward writers! Reward artists! Support them! Not the big company’s that don’t respect them!
And don’t ever give up the fight for what you want!
The reason it's going so badly PR-wise for the media bosses is that they're openly and proudly talking about looting the bread and circuses that were supposed to distract people from the similar looting of everything else
They done goofed
This, the Unity thing... the mindset of "we would rather destroy our business squeezing out every drop of money than continue making the same huge profits every year but have to share a little" may make sense to venture jackals but it reallllly doesn't to regular folks

Hey guys- huge update to share! It's been under wraps for a while but I can finally announce... I've joined GLITCH! (Which is considered Murder Drones, Digital Circus, and ect)
I can’t figure this apt. out. It’s for rent in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for $1,195mo. and is supposedly a studio apt. So, they plopped a fridge, stove & sink in front of the window.
In the middle of the studio is a square that the landlord built.
Walking around the square.
So, it’s a closet.
Climb the ladder and is it a sleep loft?
Off to the side is a moldy shower and double sink.
Purple toilet nook and a washer/dryer (well, that’s nice having laundry in the unit). I guess you can do something with it, but it’s very carelessly constructed.
Part of me thinks that one of the reasons the WGA was able to get these studios to backdown from AI is precisely the recent rulings against AI that sided with creators and writers.
If so, then studios forcing the WGA to spend SO MUCH TIME striking and the writers holding off for this long paid off in favor of the writers. Because when negotiations resumed, AI was in a far weaker position than when the strike began. and that's saying something.
