With AI becoming the new wave, I’m assuming these big companies don’t even need writers anymore

[bradenharris]

I mean.. honestly, the amount of shitty shows and movies that have flopped and have terrible dialogue the last few years…. Hollywood should just get new writers and try something new because the ones working are terrible and only care about sticking politics in the shows and people hate it but they refuse to understand that

[mantronixtube]

oh girl . most writers have gone through this …. hollywood writers seem to have had it better ….

In the 1980s, there were about 2, 500 members of the WGA. Now there are 11, 000. There are just too many writers which is why their pay is decreasing. The WGA needs to reduce their membership.
