The Spin

Narrative A

The Hollywood strike, which had a terrible impact beyond the writers' and actors' lives, dragged on for nearly five months because of Hollywood studios' greed. However, the deal shows studios and streaming companies have finally acknowledged that the industry will be brought to a standstill if their profits and artificial intelligence take precedence over their creative talent.

Narrative B

The unprecedented dual strikes could backfire and allow studios and streaming to eliminate the creatives from the artistic process for good.
