      ⁠@@MrJbuzz19even I can look at this clusterfuck of a streaming business and right from the beginning that Zaslav took over, WBD is doomed from the start, from underpaying their employees, laying their creative teams off leaving them unemployed, using their cancelled projects and animation as a tax write off, releasing the Flash with Ezra still in the movie and the critical debt that they’re still in. What good has David Zaslav had done so far?

    "You're too late for this strike, I think, it would have been nicer when we thought we were gonna grow forever in the world in terms of content and streaming. I thought it was the greatest time in the world to be a writer like a year and a half ago. Now, things are tight now, are they not, and we have a recession, perhaps, on the horizon, this is not the time to be negotiating."
    "The last time the writers went on strike, they were out for a hundred days - the terms that they eventually signed were worse than the original offer that had been put on the table."
    Oh, so we're just lying then.
