The strike will have a huge impact for sure.

Fingers crossed we don't get some new variant of brainless tv like we got last strike with the explosion of reality tv.

I think instead it'll be a big boost to internet content this time (streamers, youtubers).

But I've seen the episode where I'm supposed to smash that like button and ring that bell already!

ABC is going all in on game shows, so I guess get ready for that

Society is no longer tolerating these obscene wealth hoarders. They are very mentally unwell to be thinking this level of compensation truly reflects their value to humanity. It's everyone's combined effort underneath them that even allows them to have the opportunity to have that revenue... how is that fair for a few to keep all the profit? It's fucking disgusting.
