*touches nose* WINNER!
It's not that it's intentional, its a result of the last strike. I
have a few real life friends and "so-show media" friends who write
for a living. One left writing on a soap to work camera on porn and
made more in 6 weeks than he had in the past year. Writers feel like
this(at least, the ones who talk to me): They gave their best work
and got screwed. No equity. No respect. No money. You can't even
get women with the "I'm a writer on so-and-so show" line anymore. So
eff this. We're going to make web series and try to raise our own
money for our own projects. And they are. It;s a slow process,
but it's closer to the dream that many writers went to Hollywood
FOR. On many TV shows, you have the line-crossers. Those who will
play ball. Not calling them scabs, because some ARE really
talented, but they don't trust the networks. Good work is being
jacked and the wrong people are getting paid REALLY well.

Has anyone noticed that shows have gotten worse since the last
writers strike? Do you think that it is intentional?
