>Unless SAG-AFTRA is powerful enough the curb that kind of use of tech. Unlikely. after the '78 commercial strike most studios made sure to keep a buffer of more than a year of content. animation studios are effectively immune to strikes since most animators arent unionized, and most of the voice work isnt either. SAG also routinely spent time trying to turn acting into a racket. Membership was notoriously difficult and hasnt evolved with content creation in the 21st century. Ultra Low Budget, Student, or Short Films do not qualify towards SAG-AFTRA eligibility (Youtube/TikTok/etc...) SAG-AFTRA membership is also restricted to SAG-AFTRA job sites, so it doesnt really "grow" per say. Were you a grip or gaff on the set of a Ford commercial and it wasnt a SAG-AFTRA job? you're not eligible to join. SAG's demands in the current strike are nearly as unreasonable as the studios.
