And here it is. First performer’s strike since 1980 and only the second time actors have gone on strike together with writers since 1960.

    Yeah, but now there’s streaming and a boatload of old content that people can catch up on. Promotional tours and live events will suffer, of course, but that’s only for new and future content.

    Granted, I don’t know how sustainable a business model relying on streaming will be in the long term. I seem to recall reading somewhere that the reason shows are disappearing from platforms is because the studios don’t want to have to pay residuals (ironically, one of the things that the writers and actors are striking over)
