Tens of thousands of actors could go on strike after trade unions and major streaming platforms break down before Wednesday’s deadline.

According to the BBC, members of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) have voted to join the Writers Guild of America (WGA) in a strike against the streaming industry giants. No group can agree on issues related to rewards and the use of artificial intelligence. report on thursday. Writers began targeting employers including Disney, Netflix and Paramount in May over pay and working conditions.

Now it seems like the actors, the writers, and the studio itself have all quit their jobs, but I don’t understand any of it. Actors and streaming his platform rely on writers to create shows We The People want to see. Actors then bring those shows to life, and streaming giant leaders pay for and distribute their productions. Right now no one in these layers has a job and we will all be watching reruns for the time being…exactly what I predicted would happen in June. It happens exactly as it was supposed to.

Get ready for a year of reruns if the writers’ strike isn’t over by Friday |@DailyCaller⁩ https://t.co/Rl4M9fJaCo

Thankfully, reality TV doesn’t usually fall into the same category as other mainstream entertainment. Perhaps in the coming weeks and months there will be a massive resurgence of unscripted entertainment. So get ready for more Kardashians, shows about UFOs, and possibly more news. The writers’ strike of the ’80s gave birth to Cops, so maybe there’s a silver lining here.

However, there are no winners in this situation. Streaming companies exist only to provide us with entertainment, pissing off those who try to produce it for them. Writers lost because, like us, they now have to find writing jobs that pay a living wage. Actors lose because they are always losers.

But we viewers are also at risk. Aside from a few shows that have already ended (“Special Ops: Lioness,” “What We Do In The Shadows,” and “Reservation Dogs,” to name a few), there’s no new fiction show to relax and enjoy. It will take at least a year, if not more, but nothing can be done about it.

And am I the only one who thinks the timing is a bit questionable, with global turmoil raging and the domestic catastrophe of the 2024 presidential election looming?
