I find this quite cynical. The same executives who want to steal the wages of the writers and actors are responsible for the quality and range of productions. It is only a handful of directors who get full creative license. I agree that good sci-fi is rare but don’t think that my personal dissatisfaction should result in many thousands of already exploited people who put in incredibly hard work, their heart and souls in what they do, to go jobless - because you and I don’t like how their bosses, the same bosses who are trying to squash them, do their jobs. Finally, we might have similar tastes. A few things you might like: Outer Range; The Underground Railroad. I believe that the entertainment workers strike in Hollywood deserves my support.

I do sympathise for the poor working arrangements, but I just can’t bring myself to support a return to the status quo that would continue producing more of the same content that Hollywood has been producing. I certainly don’t blame only the writers. The producers and executives also play a major role in the decline of the quality. But I’ve seen bits and pieces of TV recently, and I do think the writing itself is typically just bad, regardless of other creative constraints. There’s many ways that a system can fail, and I’m simply not upset to see this system progressing along its path to failure.
