Writer's Strike

[Covert Rain]

I have thought this for a long time but if a writer is the one that wrote a billion dollar blockbuster or the biggest hit on TV? They should share in the revenue. They should be making a piece of that pie.

The shrinking writers' rooms and going producer driven has been a big issue with me. It's a big part of why I think shows like STD or the first 2 seasons of Picard sucked. They had something like 21 producers in their credits.

When it comes to streaming, I'm hoping you guys force them to open their books. I think they've been underestimating the residuals while inflating the numbers for investors. I think we're going to see that they're screwing people at both ends. Hopefully we'll end up with a real viewership metric. When they count 2 minutes of watching a show as a view for the PR in order to make viewership sound better I'm betting that they don't want to pay a writer for a full episode for that same 2 minutes. Time for them to come clean.

This is the absloute need IMO. I'm really worried that when the directors go out on strike that this will be settled for a quick pay off that doesn't do the big thing all of them really need.

Get the streamers to disclose their data. It has to be done but I have little hope that it will be.
