This is why we need to strive together to change this

​@@barsabestrikes dont work..unless your job littlary halp to hold secioty thogher..but even then.big companies have deeper pockets..

I thought they outsourced most animation duties to Philippines, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia...

​@@yuvalgabay1023 depend on the industry and how strong unions play a role in it. And I wouldn't underestimate the actor or writer guilds in Hollywood since past strikes there have been shown to be successfull in pressuring the studios to get what they want.

Paid poorly in ur country but for poor country that paid is very high That is why I very glad live in poor country with my freelance skill 😎

What the video fails to mention is the relative cost of their international investment vs US. 2.5 billion in Korea is literally nothing to what they spend on US shows, that's basically what they've spent on like their last 10 Netflix movies before we even discuss what they spend on anything else. Asian / Anime content are niche markets for Netflix with the preference for that content majority owned by domestic channels in those countries, that's a cultural aspect US companies consistently fail to replicate. It's nonsensical to believe they can run to Asia when the majority of their userbase is American and still dependent on Hollywood. Yes, it'll help them be more sustainable long term, No, they still need the writers and actors striking.

korean serial are quite top notch when given enough resource

Same I never watch much American movies nor series

Same here, I watch less than 2% of American shows on Netflix 🤷🏽‍♀️ Korean and Chinese have wonderful shows and movies, same with Latin countries and other places like Philippine, India, the international entertainment are better right now

Not much missed. Get more Asian writing in. They are better anyway

Same. Since subs to netflix in 2020 during lockdown pandemic, the korean content never disappointing me till this day. It just keep getting better.

wow

Larger writers rooms are a problem. If five people can write a show, why should you need to pay a dozen? This is also why shows lack any kind of unified vision - the main writers keep switching every episode, so nothing ties everything together.

That's cute considering America has been censoring Japanese content and shaming people for complaining about it.

These writers deserve to be suspended without pay for the garbage tier scripts they've been writing

@@CaptainYokkiller to much woke content, many people already boycott woke film in theater and streaming

They think they are special.

If they voted for Joe they can learn to code jack 😂

@@CaptainYokkiller the scripts could've also been changed by the company, investors etc

That's why Netflix bought and revived Trailer Park Boys, their best decision ever.

Their content also fading

You lack an understanding of this issue. In Asia you don’t have unions to protect workers, the CEOs don’t care who does on Set, asian or Caucasian. The reason why we have unions in North America is because people have died at work and the unions fought for safety regulations, as well as food and a warm place to work at. None of this is being provided and on top of that people are being overworked and literally used in a game against the workers on a different continent. Change is never favourable towards the masses, what Netflix is doing is shady and it’s basically using Asian cinema to make money while people who fought so hard to be in union and have a safe place to work are no longer working. None of this is normal or acceptable. and unfortunately people like you will never know the dark side of the film industry unless you’re someone like me who has worked in film industry for decades.

Korean dramas better content? It’s not. I’m from Asia and I find Korean dramas boring and with cliche storylines. Apple TV series offers high quality plot than Netflix nowadays

@@sunsetfoxx That's nice, the same thing happened to American manufacturing and Hollywood said "learn to code lol"

Japanese manga, Korean manhwa, Chinese manhua >>>>>>>>>> Marvel anyday

@@dindachancamui3508in what area?! 😂

Really ? I'm new to Dramas and I have to say that Netflix Korean productions is the reason why I'm obsessed with K-dramas now. I always thought they were weird and boring before I watched Squid games on Netflix. Now, I've watched 12 K-dramas and all of those are from Netflix and I loved them so much.

@@lawtraf8008 You're looking at it from a non-Korean perspective, possibly (weird and boring).

@@lawtraf8008 You're probably looking at things from a non-Korean perspective. Korean critics are noting how Netflix productions follow popular plotlines and expectations, but not scripts that challenge the audience and the art. They worry that investment in such content means writers stop writing quality scripts that appeal to Koreans but not necessarily non-Korean audiences. By the way, the K-dramas you watch on Netflix are not necessarily produced by Netflix. Netflix traditionally buys streaming licenses of already-popular content from other countries. One of my favorites was Angry Mom and one I heard mentioned a lot, Because This Is My First Life, was not Netflix-produced content. There were cool Korean dramas before Netflix was on the scene 😉 which ones did you find weird and boring?

Korean series plot were cliche and boring. This is the very reason why I switched to Apple TV because Apple TV offers high quality original series with great plot. Netflix nowadays are full of Korean dramas with almost all the same storylines

The actors and maybe even directors are likely going on strike come July, so there's little work around the studios are going to be able to do about that.

why do people take anecdotes as proof of evidence??

I stopped watching mainstream entertainment years ago.These days i only watch amateur home vids,indy music makers,and old 90s and 2000s movies.Nothing that exists today interests me at all,as far as Hollywood is concerned or tv in general.

i agree they should be alarmed, but the problem is not that actors are not paid on the networks etc. It is pay from streaming, so unless streaming anties up then ther is the problem. The fact is actors are paid by a few networks 3-5 for residuals, but there are almost 3 times as many streaming networks who are splitting the pie. If they can consolidate (Hulu, Disney, ESPN+ It will help out. Their is money in streaming that is divided by at least 10 networks. (Disney, Hulu, Paramount+, Netflix, HBO, Max, Peacock, Bravo, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video etc ). Streaming is a big pie, but actors only get paid by one who is competing against the other 10.

Which major studio does not own a streaming service? I just want to know which ones should be alarmed.

​@@RarebitFiendsSony

@@kalvin1123 The owners of CrunchyRoll, Crackle, and PureFlix? Are you sure about that?

@@kalvin1123 Why did you not fact-check yourself first with 10 seconds of googling? Do you have a fetish for being wrong and called out on it?

Indian cinema is star driven industry and hollywood is studio driven industry

Finally, someone talking sense

When Hollywood writers admit that alot of their writing is agenda driven instead of fun. You can't say that doesn't have a negative impact on their writing

yeah, i don't know why a lot of people are siding with the corporations.

@@markcoffee2945it really doesn’t . There’s tons of shows and movies with “woke agenda’s” with amazing writing. Don’t try to push a narrative

i dont like watch woke... it makes the immersion gone just say it and don't be afraid "woke" also factor that make writing going down hill.

Decline in quality

You really overestimated manga, light novels & anime creators, writers, animators etc. who've worked in that industry. In Japan, creatives there too face the same lack of amount of income from their work as their US counterparts, and are exploited by their studios. A lot of them are overworked, burned out, underpaid and face some really terrible physical & mental health issues. They don't get to enjoy their income just like the US creatives, nor they do get to have breaks. These isn't some "starving artist" situation, these are the real issues faced by Japanese animators. Unfortunately for them, for now, there are no means to create unions for creators, animators, writers, etc in Japan, so they can't fight back against the anime industry's own problems.

comic book author is popular in America as well. The Late mr Stan Lee just to name a few.

@@Germania9 I know that already. That's why I said "some authors". There's still way more well known writers than the US.

Not really, theres reason why theres rising in Chinese 2D media as more Japanese creator left for better pay they wouldnt get in homeland

Why do you even compare those 2 countries ? The cultures and systems are totally different, there's really no point in comparing them...

Are you being forced to do anything? It’s a movie, you just don’t watch.

@@emmuzboosh how do you know if the movie would force fed propaganda to you if you don't watch it?

@@hardboiled7467Learn the meaning of the words you are using.

@@hardboiled7467 lol, what? So watch propaganda and bad stuff to know if it is true...

@@emmuzboosh Unless you are informed about it before the movie starts then it is being forced. I'm all for putting propaganda warnings on entertainment, sounds like you agree.

Agree with this.

True diversity is considered "woke" content. The war against "woke" is an agenda created by white supremacists.

Right, diversity from the original contries is better than from American mindset (who thinks that the world revolves around them)

What are you talking about?

@@SL-zz7mg I don't wanna talk to you anymore

"Smart business" and let's crush the writers?

@@petergilkes7082 I am not saying what they done are right. I am talking about business standpoint.

@@dvd2909 OK

Even the Korean shows quality is also declining...not worth it to keep Netflix subscriptions...Too much Korean content in Netflix but it is more quantity than quality

True. At the end of the day, most of these corporations could care less as long as they are still making a profit. To me, the power lies in the consumer. If a MAJORITY of us got involved in worker unions by not spending our money on these corporations, they would act fast due to fear of their company collapsing. And not just 100 people unplugging, but like 80% or dare I say, 100% of their customer base. Sadly, the public does not see the power they can have as a collective. In fact, we have become SO divided it is impossible for us to come together and bring these corporations to their knees. Instead, we are the ones on our knees. We have given them our power and they are using it better than us. These strikes do not affect their pockets, just their image, which most people don't even care about. If we did, these same companies that have been exposed for mistreating and underpaying their employees, or even doing harm to society, could not also be the same ones with the most market share.

What is DEI?

@@francisquebachmann7375 It stands for Diversity Equity and Inclusion. Basically, he doesn't like the fact that there are other people outside of his mono-culture and society, and believes the troubles of others make him uncomfortable confront his limited world view of things.

​@Ryu62Alpha I hate to break it to you but most people that like DEI writing are rich white people that's why shows outside of Hollywood are gaining popularity

​@@Ryu62Alphatrue DEI should be included in every piece of media It's very inportant to include DEI in every piece of media Entertainment isn't really important We live in the real world folks People don't deserve entertainment So many people are out there experiencing oppression They deserve to have their voices heard Even if the media is not entertaining, as long as it has DEI, it's a movie worth watching

@@Ryu62Alpha Wow that's such an ignorant take. You're assuming their racist without outright saying it to their face.

This will all pass on don't you think? History repeats itself, people protested machines when they were taking over people's jobs, and then they embraced them, people are now protesting AI for taking their jobs, and will soon embrace them. Progress is unstoppable, you just need to shift your course in life to fit the trajectory society is moving in.

There is a difference in a machine taking over your mundane job on the factory line that literally anyone can learn to do in a day or 2 ....and machines trying to take over "creative" jobs ... apples and oranges my friend ....I don't mind a machine putting together my car - I don't wanna turn on Netflix and watch a show created by a machine

@dantheman332 That's your opinion. Not everyone in the world thinks the same way as you. You're not the main character of this show.

@shafaet1194 right ...no one is the main character ... and neither are you .... every single comment on KZfaq is opinion ....even yours .... so get a move-on bud and start telling each and every comment ever made on youtube they are not the main character ...and reply to yourself as well

@@dantheman332 Clearly missed the point.

Drama/Suspense is the only thing SK is superior at making.

Just being honest here, I won’t keep my Netflix sub if all their show’s require me to turn on sub-titles.

​@@EndeavorsDnBmost shows in netflix have English dub ,but that's only if it's Netflix original

The issue with this is that the counter culture is just as bad because they throw their vision in the completely opposite direction. They are both extremes and I think it will take time to find a happy medium again.

Keep crying clown

They don't have a choice. They're under union contract. If the union strikes, all Hollywood actors are obligated to strike and that has already happened a couple of days ago.

u will get shot / sprayed by the cops for doing that in the USA, no consequences in France

You’re a piece of Garbage 🗑️, just so you know ! Writers aren’t the only people impacted due to the strike ! Many other unions are down because of the writers. Including myself and we have a family to feed and to take care of. You’re a disgrace.

10 years? Seriously, they've enough money to feed 11k writers for 10 years? Wow.

im sure korea got similar problem..the question is will they follow suit

Keep crying

If you think AI can write something that doesn't look like a obvious AI generated sentence and scene, then I got a bridge to sell you.

@@entertainmentfan1463 If you knew my gaming alias, you wouldn't sell me a bridge. Because I already have it. It would be ironical.

Ai writing is a joke. Have fun hearing absolutely everything begin and end with “she went on to learn self worth and face the world with confidence” word for word

@@that1guy307 Have you stopped to consider that the AI programs you have come into contact with do not represent the latest in AI technology? Or even that their true ability is shackled and masked? If they were so dumb, they wouldn't be used to fly Airforce combat planes, drive cars, do automated Microsoft 365 apps, Microsoft CoPilot, etc. It seems you want to believe that they are dumb because the alternative is accepting that you have been blind and ignorant about AI.

AI writing would be the most in-human cheesy dialog....it would make George Lucas written dialog look like shakespearean prose .... gotta keep the human element in this kind of stuff
