Netflix users are streaming away from the service again - but, this time, things are different
The AMPTP, which represents the world's most renowned movie and TV studios, is refusing to play ball with the WGA. Subsequently, the WGA – which represents people who work on films, TV shows, podcasts, documentaries, news outlets, and more – held a vote over strike action in mid-April, with 97.5% of its members
) voting to walk out. The strike began at 12:01 AM PT on May 2 and will last until the AMPTP and WGA can agree on a new deal.So, how does Netflix factor into all of this? It all started on April 18, with co-CEO Ted Sarandos telling reporters ) that studios"don't want" a strike to happen. However, Sarandos also expressed confidence in Netflix being able to ride out any perceived strike , saying:"If there is one, we have a large base of upcoming shows and films from around the world. We can probably serve our members better than most."
Understandably, Sarandos' comments weren't received well by WGA members and those standing in solidarity with them. Now, a rumor, which suggests Netflix had a big role to play in the breakdown in talks between the WGA and AMPTP, has only added fuel to the fire., industry insider Jeff Sneider claimed that the wider industry is blaming Netflix for the writers' strike.
The immediate fear of AI isn’t that us writers will have our work replaced by artificially generated content. It’s that we will be underpaid to rewrite that trash into something we could have done better from the start. This is what the WGA is opposing and the studios want.Sneider was quick to claim that he's unsure about the story's validity – his source wasn't 100% sure, either – but the story has quickly grown legs across the entertainment sector.
