OotL: What's going on in Hollywood?

GaleFromCali@lemmy.world to Out of the loop@lemmy.world – 23 points –

I've seen headlines about actors/actresses protesting about stuff. The same goes for other creative talent in the entertainment industry. What's going on there? What are their demands? What fueled these protests all of a sudden?

Thanks, but what started these strikes in the first place? Was there a key event that started this whole thing?

I believe it was a regularly scheduled contract negotiation (because the previous contract was about to expire), and no agreement was reached for the terms of the new contract.

Streaming doesn't pay enough residuals. So companies just keep all the money instead of fairly paying the artists
