if you're thinking about showing solidarity with striking creatives by canceling subscriptions or not watching stuff, there's two problems with that1. The strikers haven't asked for that, and2. They are still getting residual pay for that stuffthere's not a whole lot you can do here, except be vocal about supporting striking workers. That's always a good idea.

@InternetEh don’t watch any live TV or reality TV (which is scripted but whose writers are uncredited and non union)

@InternetEh not sure but those types of entertainment use non union labor and folks like Zaslav want reality programming to replace scripted content

@InternetEh You could fire off an email to the major streaming services you subscribe to letting them know that you support the strikers. It might not help, but they should know this is not a good optic for them, and you've got choices in entertainment spending.

@InternetEh Just an idea.. but why not cancel the subscription AND send your subscription fee directly to the creatives. They make their money (and more) so problem solved?
