Part of the reason they pay writers and actors so low is because of nepotism.
Rich people can afford to pay their children’s way into Hollywood. It forces out talented people that can’t afford that lifestyle. The amount of nepo babies with zero talent who went to business school and have found themselves in top positions at studios straight after graduating because their grandparents and parents worked in the film industry is outrageous. And they have been gutting Hollywood of any sort of creativity for the past twenty years by basing everything on a profits based business model that doesn’t allow for experimentation. It’s why nearly so many movies have been remakes, sequels, and based on existing IP.
Of course they don’t want to pay actors and writers well, they have never had to work for anything ever and can’t relate to having to work three jobs to try and achieve your goals and dreams. And they don’t WANT those people to be successful either. How else will they be able to place their fresh from college kids into top roles if those positions are already taken by outsiders?

actually the best case scenario for the strikes (on top of "writers and performers are paid more than fairly for their incredibly valuable contributions to art and culture") is that we reach a point where movie theaters just start screening old films. i'm talking about golden age classics like the wizard of oz and casablanca or whatever but i'm also talking about cult classics or more recent movies that are just better in a theater and with an audience. set piece heavy action movies. fantasy films with sweeping orchestral scores. sing alongs of movie musicals. a twilight marathon. idk the possibilities are endless
Some pretty normal looking animals to me idk about you guys
