So, have we asked the writers and actors how we can support their strike? What we can collectively do to help?

Fuck em.
Most of them aren’t worth saving.
I actually did hit up a few of the studio picket lines here in LA and offered some sats for those who were interested. Most didn’t understand Lightning wallets, etc. Might’ve Orange pilled a few. Reality is most of these people are way underpaid and live on peanuts while a few make millions of their work. Unless you are super famous or well connected sometimes through nepotism, most barely make ends meet and churn out into other careers. It’s a tough industry. Have lots of friends in it. They are fighting for their survival while studios are replacing them with AI. It’s in a sad state and they must adapt or else.
Appreciate the insight!
We should stay out of it. Either the capitalists in the industry can afford to pay them more, or they can't and we will have to cover their increased wages through our subscriptions. If we try to help them financially all we will be doing is delaying the inevitability of these two outcomes.
