The strike is over residuals from streaming services. If the studios allow the writers and actors to collect, they will need to reveal the actual viewer numbers. This is problematic for the studios/streaming services because the actual numbers are mostly likely much lower than advertised. If/when they are revealed, the streaming services stock will tank. The studios/streaming services have a vested interest in not revealing that information. They probably have enough money and content stored to wait out the strike.
And we're seeing lots of repeats on TV too. I mean even Jeopardy (which I like to watch as an intellectual challenge) is now on repeats. Hehehe.... they too have writers.
