Entertainment and Media Bloodbath Widened in 2025: 17,000 Jobs Slashed
The year 2025 was a bloodbath for television and film workers in Hollywood as the media continued its downward spiral from its once commanding position as a leading American institution.
People's attention spans are shorter and they are hooked on Dopamine delivery bursts. Commercials are so awful and full of race mixing, and Corporate Social Engineering, that People are turned off entirely. Paid subscription channels are asking for more money and now they are making you watch commercials even after you're paying for a subscription. Amazon prime has commercials now. Unless you pay more a month.
So right about the commercials. In NZ commercials all I see is either:
White males are nowhere to be seen, unless it's for the fall guy role for a Karen.
We need a new BudLight boycott routine whereby we all drop products that use this anti-white, anti-male advertising.
Cracker Barrell those MFs.
Screw 'em!
Best comment here.
Screw their gangster propaganda machine.
That's exactly what it is, and always was.
They've built that industry on making gangsters, thieves and the devil's legions look more appealing.
Let us hope AI puts an end to conventional Hollywood filmmaking forever.
The Wrap reports that television and film lost upwards to 17,000 jobs in 2025, a loss 18 percent higher than last year.
News divisions, for instance, cut about 2,254 jobs across television, film, broadcast, news and streaming services through November of 2025. The loss, though, fell below the 4,537 job losses in 2024.
“The most cited reason for layoffs was restructuring and industry consolidation,” the Wrap added.
The FCC approved the merger between Paramount Global and Skydance Media and as the year came to a close Warner Bros. Discovery also began its move to merge with whatever outfit will end up buying it in the coming year. But job loss was a constant across it all. Even Disney continued its trend of mass layoffs despite still holding out on its own.
The layoffs will continue, too, and Artificial Intelligence might be to blame for much of it.
There have been a couple recent shows and movies with ignorable levels of messaging, that were otherwise OK, and that's the best I can say for this year. So, no surprise.
