<< Why? Due to the way Hollywood treats writers, they're already used to having periods of 6-10 months or so without any writing work. My apologies. I assumed it was clear from my post. Executives have more money to burn through. They also do not automatically lose money, when writer don't work ( streaming services bring in steady flow as long as you have a decent library ). Who knows? Maybe this will force streaming services to share the digital library in an effort to outmaneuver writers ( one giant library of oldies to draw from ). Seems unlikely, but it all depends on how hell bent executives really are. Now compare that situation to that of writers. It does not look as promising. << Unlike the writers, the studio execs are expected to show growth on a regular basis. Eh. Execs have to mollify investors and investors are not unlikely to support 'heavy negotiation tactics'. As such, I am not sure if they have to worry about 2023. FWIW, I may very well be wrong. I am a sucker for a David vs Goliath story, but the deck is heavily stacked against writers.
