If you’re a striking Hollywood writer, maybe even reading this as you picket outside a studio while chanting a creative coupling of an expletive with the words “David Zaslav,” take a quick look to your left and right. If you’re one of the fortunate WGA members who is tied to a studio or streamer through a first-look or an overall deal, and have seen that deal suspended during the first few weeks of the strike, chances are that one of the similarly situated people in your immediate vicinity has not been suspended. Many have, and many haven’t, which has created this odd dynamic where some of even the most vocal WGA activists have lost their income by walking out, and others are essentially getting paid a ton of money to picket.
