1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

When you say the industry is dead, what exactly do you mean? Like working in the industry is no longer a viable career option, or you think that movies/ shows in general aren't going to be good anymore?
I'm not trying to argue your point of it's coming across that way, just not sure exactly what you are saying, I have been loving some recent movies and shows so if something is going to change I will be sad
No new movies and TV shows are being made. I’m a 43 year old industry veteran, forced to look for a new career.
Anecdotally, I used to make $120k/year for the past 10 years like clockwork. The past two years, though: I made $18,00 and $22,000.

This article says 40% but that’s in LA. In other places, production is down 90%.
I see... That's a staggering number. Hopefully there are enough rich assholes who like good movies to keep funding the few movies we still get for the next couple decades...
After that, there will always be independent filmmakers, and with the increasing quality of consumer-grade equipment and software, their stuff will get better as the technology improves. Still won't hold a flame to studio production quality, but it will be there
Thank you for your insight
Sorry to hear
