your opinion.
here's a simple explainer on why the writers strike
imho it's always a good thing to fight for what's fair which this video explains.
one other point i feel needs mention is the importance for writers (or artists, well everybody) to make themselves comfortable with new technology para di mapag iwanan. kasi diba new technology offers them new revenue streams so dapat savvy sila sa mga ganitong bagay

I feel a little dumb for the reasons I gave but I empathize with the writers. That video has some pointers to consider. Wow!
But then again... that's United States for you. I think it's a bit different here in the Philippines... or worse.

Of course I would want to be paid for my talents!
Why the hell not?
I mean, look at the people on the strike! They're all scrawny for goodness sake! You can't take everything for granted. I suppose that's the problem with technology these days... But that's how we learn.
I say we pay these writers.
It may not be a good thing for us because we have to pay for their benefits but, money motivates people. What can I say? The more you pay, the better the entertainment!
