Fun article, I actively encourage people to not pursue anything related to Hollywood and the "industry", whether it is in front of or behind the screen.
Why? Because it's a nepotistic *hit show. If you're in front of the camera, you have to literally suck someone off to get there (me too was only scratching the surface, both men and women are abused by it). The people that do have talent , of which there are many, are a dime a dozen. If you are already not a prodigy at your craft or have an industry in by the time you get there, you will waste your time.
Behind the scenes, it is only marginally better. You will end up working with some of the most insufferable people in the world who are so passionate about working in entertainment anything that they will work for free.
The industry is also on a precipice with AI which will absolutely decimate both on and off camera rolls. I tell kids all of the time, the entertainment industry is run by some of the most cut throat executives in the world and AI has given them the biggest gift in the world: the ability to gut the biggest expense in their balance sheets: labor.
And honestly, seeing Hollywood shrink is a good thing. It has ceased to be a good place both creatively and spiritually. This article is a prime piece of the general attitude of the industry.
I look forward to the author getting out competed by chatgpt. They all think they're safe, until they are not.
Edit: the downvoter really can't handle the truth. Everyone you see on screen has gotten there because of a favor either nepotism or sexual. I have too many friends who have revealed the dark truth about it. The place isn't to be admired and it's one of the worst industries on the planet.
