For over a decade, business was booming in Hollywood, with studios battling to catch up to new companies like Netflix and Hulu. But the good times ground to a halt in May 2023, when Hollywood's writers went on strike.
The strikes lasted multiple months and marked the first time since the 1960s that both writers and actors joined forces - effectively shutting down Hollywood production. But rather than roaring back, in the one year since the strikes ended, production has fizzled.
Projects have been cancelled and production was cut across the city as jobs have dried up, with layoffs at many studios - most recently at Paramount. It had a second round of layoffs this week, as the storied movie company moves to cut 15% of its workforce ahead of a merger with the production company Skydance.

Every single one of those strikers was a massive r-slur.
There are simply too many people who want to work in hollywood and willing to eat shit to do it, a huge chunk of the guild doesn't even have full time work.
By striking all they did was prove they were both redundant and a threat to the bottom line
