The exploitation of Hollywood's writers is just another symptom of digital feudalism

Friday, May 5, 2023

The current Hollywood writers strike has drawn international attention to the plight of TV and film writers in the streaming era.

Key Points:

The current Hollywood writers strike has drawn international attention to the plight of TV and film writers in the streaming era.
While there are certainly more writing jobs to go around, these roles often pay less and place writers on short-order contracts.

Echoes from medieval Europe

These laws kicked peasants, known as serfs, off the land where they had lived and worked for generations.
The ensuing oversupply of workers drove down wages, and many ex-serfs couldn’t find jobs or housing, becoming vagabonds.
The gig economy, in which people can juggle two or three part-time roles to make ends meet, is largely to blame.

The serfs of Hollywood

But the gold prospecting has slowed, as the number of prestige TV shows seems to have hit a saturation point.
Starting in the 2010s, streaming platforms began hiring more and more writers.
To lure customers, platforms needed quality content – otherwise, viewers wouldn’t continue paying the US$8 to $15 monthly cost of a subscription.
Platforms couldn’t market their content like network sitcoms, so they had to constantly develop new ideas for shows.

Core demands

Another key demand is to limit the use of artificial intelligence in television production.
Interestingly, limits on AI have been the one point of contention that studios have been unwilling to even discuss.
