Part 8/14:
The discussion extends into the power dynamics: influencers, who are often self-made and independent, are now being asked to align with industry union grievances that mostly impact unionized actors and crew. The hosts observe that many influencers succeed without major studios' backing, and their support could be more valuable when they refuse to be coerced into silence.
Furthermore, they critique the often anti-industry rhetoric from some actors and union leaders, questioning why established stars—like those making millions—would support a strike that might hurt their own jobs, but not the fans or the younger generation of influencers who are trying to build their careers.
