Actually boycotting ironically hurts in this situation.
Writers and actors are encouraging people to keep watching and taking about shows & movies because that underscores the value they bring and are trying to get recognition for, ultimately bolstering their case.
I don’t agree with what they’re asking for though, so why would I support them?
They get hired to do a job (write or act), they get paid to do a job (very handsomely most of the time), and they do the job. That should be the end of the deal, like it is in almost every industry in the world.
They want free money for life for doing the job that they were paid to do. I don’t agree with that, especially when all it would do is harm the rest of us through massively increased costs to watch the content that they were paid to make.
You should support the actor’s and writer’s strike. That’s what I’ll keep bringing up here, do what you can to make things change.
I have been supporting it. I haven’t starred in a single Holywood movie since it began and I haven’t written shit.
That won’t not a permanent option for some of us now, right?
Do what you can, that’s all any of us can hope for.
What can we do? I don’t live by anywhere they are striking.
It’s small, but just talking about it and send a message of support on social media is appreciated.
Maybe they’ll even actually see it.
There’s a donation fund to help the strike continue. The writers aren’t calling for a boycott yet.

Keep watching anything and everything folks!
refuse to watch, read, play, or otherwise engage with anything created by an AI… we just make it a fundamental demand… we don’t want any of that shit…
