Part 13/14:
Wrapping up, the hosts speculate on the endgame of the actors' and influencers' strikes. They suggest that influencers, with their independence and direct-to-fan communication, could eventually bypass the traditional Hollywood machinery altogether. Platforms like TikTok and YouTube allow creators to build audiences without studio backing, potentially leading to a collapse in the traditional model.
They conclude with a reminder: real connection, community, and authentic engagement matter more than corporate validation. As society becomes more digitally connected yet emotionally distant, the episode advocates for genuine relationships over performative activism and industry conformity.
