Why I Hope the DGA Goes on Strike

With the WGA on strike and SAG-AFTRA probably going to join them, if the DGA votes no on their tentative agreement, the media industry could really face a revolution.
VIDEO OVERVIEW:
- WGA is already on strike and SAG will likely go on strike starting in July due to demands for better wage, protections against AI, etc.
- The DGA board did reach a tentative agreement with the studios BUT it must now be ratified by individual members
- While regardless of whether the DGA members accept the deal, the WGA has stated its demands remain the same which means the writer's strike is still on.
Various tweets from DGA members inspired me to make this due to their messages of solidarity. Union strong!

I understand every industry has to focus on controlling costs, but it is ridiculous and offensive that studios could use AI and people's past work to create new content without the creator's/actor's consent, and without compensation. It is always unfortunate when anyone has to resort to a strike, but what else can they do at this point?

Exactly. It's an unfortunate situation all around
