Is there some way I can support the strike other than by not watching the shows/movies?

If they can wait until their opponents are desperate, won't they become desperate after a couple bad quarters too? I mean, they're corporations.

i believe the WGA strike hub has good details on this, and what they're specifically asking people to do in support.

I didn't see 'cancel your subscriptions' listed, but upon reading this, I think that is where I am headed. I'm cancelling HBO for sure. They've stopped offering any content worth watching since their new head took over -- except there was still John Oliver until the strike started, but now there's nothing. I don't have Disney or Paramount but I guess I better get rid of Netflix until the strike is over, too.

Pretty sure there is a strike fund. Adam Connover linked to it a few times in videos he's been in about the strike.
