This is why I am split on the writer’s strike. Like, on the one hand labor organization is good, but on the other hand, most ‘official writing’ is completely dogshit, and even when it is good it is clearly constrained by production. Like, I get they are underpaid, but the reason why people don’t last in the industry is because of the abuse most people have to go through, that completely saps any life out of the creative process, reduces art to ‘jobbing’. But whatever, we gotta get our slop.
I don’t see how the second hand you mention is at all in tension with the first. In fact, it seems to be supportive of it. More worker power means less corporate constraint.

Yeah. More rights, payment, and security will all lead to more creative freedom and expression.
