low-effort junk TV like dating, survival, cooking and other shows like it.

... in other words, exactly the shows that don't use actors or writers

Huh. When you put it that way...

Dont they also have writers on these? With most of it being scripted and dramatized, sbd. gotta make all this stuff up. Also the whole set-up the catch etc. I thought these were done by writers too.

I don't know how other companies work, but I work at a company that produces a lot of reality TV shows. They definitely have writers that will lead the direction that the shows take (for example challenge ideas for a dating show or maybe bow they deliver hints to a blind customer cooking show) and they'll have some leading questions in interviews (or even asking to phrase things for more drama if the contestants want to and they usually say yes) but you'd be surprised at how unscripted the ones we produce are.

I actually think the movies they star in and write are shit too.

Just looking at the list of movies held up by the strike makes me weep with joy.

Glad greedy shitbags who make nothing but garbage are fighting each other.
