“While writing for the show for nine weeks, O'Keefe lived in a small apartment in Brooklyn without heat, wrote at a public library when the power was out, and was never flown to the set, according to The New Yorker.”
These the privileged writers y’all talking about? Lol
It IS how I feel. It's kind of like a journalists strike to me. Oh I'm supposed to support the people pumping right wing propaganda into people's brains day in day out? No thanks lol
Oh yeah cuz thats all of them bro or even most lol
Always for the worker to get paid more by bosses that can afford it in most cases

Bro these studios made 20 billion last year and mfs tryna argue that this strike is nonsense 😭😭
Also love how op s***s on the other thread for being "bias" while his s*** is just as biased & even conspiratorial lmfao
Not a single ounce of nuance or clarity

Niggas are dumb and emotional whats new
Has the sxn just been huffing chemical waste this past week or something
TikTok fried their brains
well it doesn't if you don't want to consider anything else, but I don't think that way. in the grand scheme of things I'd much rather see wages go up for the average worker, not these writers who have tons of privilege and opportunity
This alt sucks mad d***.
this is propaganda
Bruh…
Tell me you’re white without telling me you’re white.
The writers are only asking for 2% of the profits the companies make from their work. Y’all should really research
I honestly don't know that they deserve that...
Most of these modern streaming shows are bullshit, the writing doesn't matter its about the actors and scenarios so people will click
I'd be curious the difference in pay for say prestige hbo shows vs Netflix bullshit of the month
Movies is a different thing
Now say how much he's paid and how much he spends while living in LA
Now say how much he's paid and how much he spends while living in LA
If you read the s*** you'd know that bruh don't live in LA he lives in Brooklyn in a s***ty apartment and that most of his money goes to taxes and representative fees.
Also I made this point earlier when debating with the other nigga but streaming f***ed up residual fees they get paid at a lower rate.
Now factor in with how Netflix and HBOMax and Hulu been canceling all these shows at random and you'll get the bigger picture
it wouldnt be a lot right? i mean, do they write the dialogue?? or do the actors just say whatever? or do directors get write the scene? do they get paid on top of the writing? i mean they would write where it takes place if it does.. some of those sets do look pretty lay but some are so specific to the plot ...
Watch Boogie Nights
Are you factoring in that the original treatment will probably get you over a little paid and that you can absolutely not be hired again for rewrites?
A nigga can sell a script to Netflic whoever make they little bread, they can take it, do whatever they see fit and not hire you again.
Then your screenwriting agent takes 10%, Your manager takes 10%, your lawyer wants 5%, and then paying Uncle Sam.
That's not even factoring in the cost of living in LA itself, its not like niggas just sell scripts to Netflix and get rich
I broke some s*** down here lol
Bruh these niggas might make bread one year and little to nothing the next lol
Not to mention streaming has f***ed up the game for everybody but big companies. They use a loophole from the 2008 agreement back when Netflix originals and HBOMax and all that s*** aint exist so that they could lowball on writer compensation.
Studios making 20 billion in profits and being stingy on 2% is pretty f***in nuts
And brought up the streaming s*** here as well lol
I know a good amount of folks that work in the industry and niggas think I'm just chatting bullshit
