I am not an expert on how the entertainment industry works, but the studios control everything, and the number of gatekeepers and hoops you have to jump through to work there is so crazy.

The studio's control

What gets made
What gets canceled
Who gets hired
Who gets fired
What gets aired
Where it gets aired
How long does it air
Controls budget
Controls all the rights

So many things that are out of your control. Then it brought me to the writer's strike and the only real leverage the writers have is not working. The studio has no real reason to comply with the writer's demands other than good faith and wanting to continue to make money. The studios control both supply and demand to a certain extent. There is only 1 alternative if you do not want to air your show on TV or on a streaming service, which is to go to the Internet. The budget to make a TV show is so high that it is really difficult without the studio.

Groundbreaking, first ever AI-written show coming soon

No offense op, but you just stated the most obvious stuff here lol. What’s the point of a studio if they don’t get to decide all those things?

It was kinda to emphasis that lack of control and lack of alternatives that a writer or some one that work in the entertainment industry has. For example the Studios control 95% job labeled as "Tv writer". A marketing company can fire a employee that work in marketing and that employee can find another marketing job. While a tv writer literally not work anywhere else as a "tv writer" right now.

i def see what you're saying even tho i don't entirely agree. I don't think tv writers have pigeonholed themselves into one thing. people pivot careers all the time. strike aside, just for the sake of example, if a writer felt that the industry wasn't for them, they could smoothly transition to a number of jobs such as a copywriter, editor, journalist, film critic, etc.

Also within the industry can transition to director. Many writers become directors Shane Black for example

yup. i just threw those out for writers who may want out of the industry entirely. if someone still wants to be a part of it, several more opportunities get added to the list

Yeah I just noticed your comment said if they were to leave. College professor is another one. Would be teaching next generation of writers and can warn them about the industry

I agree that the skills can carry over to other field, but for the writers strike it is specially about writing tv shows. The people that are striking want to work on tv shows and they are unable to.
