Time for the Tubi takeover

 

[aepps20]

I hope these writers get everything that they’re asking for. Anyone know what we can do in solidarity? Stop watching TV shows or would that hurt them more?

Those Signs Are Great

Time for the Tubi takeover

Tubi films need writers too.

 

[wavycrocket]

Tubi films need writers too.

They got 20 times better in the last year. It used to be unintentional comedy, but they are definitely getting better. A good platform for black independent filmmakers too.

Seriously, Tubi is about to takeover.

I’m actually thinking about investing/creating something for them.

The best drama on tv right now is American politics.

100%. No reason the people who make entertainment possible shouldn't be paid what they ask for.

 

[cragmatic]

The best drama on tv right now is American politics.

And that’s scripted too

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Pay them..

SNL’s Bowen Yang at the protest.

 

[Zainjal26]

These shows gotta hire the starz power writers

 

[jpzx]

The writers are still being paid while striking (it would be anarchy if they weren't), but once since that's public and they can protest while being paid, isn't it beneficial just to get this **** over with if you're the studios?

Been following Michael jamin for about a year now. Without a doubt my favorite account on IG. Dude saw this strike coming a looooooong time ago.

 

[DaKidFromHaiti]

I subscribe to Ed Brubaker’s (best comic writer out now in my opinion) newsletter and he wrote a bit about it in there and yea.. this **** is bad. Pay the writers.

Writers should be “rich” in every sense of the word.

Teachers too, can’t wait for them to strike nation wide and set this damn country ablaze

What is the argument AGAINST giving them what they want?

 

[combo gd]

Anyone can be a writer.

The reason that services like Tubi are free is because there are too many writers making too many movies.

You will catch a good writer and good movie every once in a while. Those writers should be paid accordingly.

Everyone else needs to just do better.

That’s not the point of this strike AT ALL!

They are not getting a fair share of the streaming residuals.

Say you do get a “cheap” writer and the show blows up on Netflix.

Do you think those writers deserve more then their base salary?
