Hollywood studios used the streaming boom to increase their power and squeeze the workers who make their shows and movies. Now the Writers Guild is on strike for the first time since 2007 to ensure streaming and AI don’t turn writers’ jobs into a gig economy.

“Fletcher says #Apple TV+’s reasoning came down to data that demonstrates that when viewers watch a film on #streaming, if ‘something doesn’t happen in the first 30 seconds.. people will just turn off.’ Although he personally thought the roughly three-minute sequence was ‘great,’ Fletcher ultimately agreed to make the ‘compromise.’”
so, if I'm up for it tomorrow, I will be streaming #brok part 5. How far will we get? only time will tell. Subscribe for alerts at http://youtube.com/@ke7zum I'm not sure if I'll do anything else as I'm still tired from traveling. #YouTube#Streaming#BlindGaming
Apparently a lot of #ParamountPlus subscribers are unable to use the service because all they get is a blue screen. Some say they would like to unsubscribe because of this but cannot because... all they get is a blue screen!
