    Dang it, I thought he stopped uploading
  • @lordziz
    “Learn to code” made me burst out laughing because programmers are worried about the exact same thing happening to them
  • @LikeAF0x
    What’s weird is the people saying “get a real job” probably have their own favorite shows that they binge watch. They’re calling these people useless while consuming the product they make.
  • @aninaqi5985
    I love playing Drew’s videos at full volume on my phone and then leaving the room, so it sounds like Some Guy is just angrily ranting in my house
  • @theoshew5813
    "You're so distracted by this one tree that you have yet to notice the forest you're standing in" is such a good line wtf
  • @stickywater3728
    Theres a weirdly large amount of people completely against the idea of creative jobs. Theyre literally praying on the downfall of artists, writers, and performers for like what reason???
  • @sadflutesolo
    a world where humans do the boring office jobs while computers write scripts and make art is not the world i want to live in
  • @unicomisMEI
    He's so right about the elementary school teacher thing. It would be awesome actually. Can you imagine how much better society would be if elementary school teachers were paid fairly? I'm actually so angry at the world for that btw
  • @elleriebrust8196
    As a creative person, I couldn't agree more. It always bugs me how much people hate artists actually getting paid for their authentic, original ideas. Just because it brings us joy and we're pursuing our passion, does not make us any less deserving to get revenue!
  • @space_1073
    So proud of Drew for improvising this entire video in solidarity with the strike.
  • @JustStoof
    I find it crazy how every single show would never exist without writers and yet they get the short end of every stick.
  • @caryllmatilac2614
    When Drew said sooner we'll only get shows from 22 year olds with rich parents my mind immediately went to Sam Levinson and the on fire trashcan show he wrote to fulfill his porn fantasies also known as The Idol.
  • @SpiritofAloha11
    After watching Drew's Christmas episode, I'm convinced that Hallmark has been using AI to write its scripts for decades.
  • @tabula.rasa.
    When Drew said " the writers room is getting smaller" I literally thought he meant the room the writers worked in was getting smaller, until he clarified that the amount of writers on staff was what was getting smaller...
  • @BigPlayG93
    The part that annoys me the most about this is that the writers WILL win this no matter what but these companies are still going to drag it out as long as they can.
  • @grayperson178
    i appreciate drew standing in solidarity with the strike by not posting a video for 2 months 🤩
  • @Bad_Hombre_ADK
    The strike just ended today, but now we've got auto workers and flight attendants striking, too. Can't wait to see which industry revolts against their corporate overlords next.
  • @dearbangtan9668
    this makes me so sad because paying writers is literally so easy for these giant productions. they don't do it just because they can get away with it.
  • @KayleeFarnes
    I'm a mom with kids in school, and even though it would disrupt my life, I secretly really want all the teachers to go on strike. I hope the writers win, and hope it leads to more wins for those who need it.
  • @freddie6307
    i, too, am tired of constant remakes and rehashes, have been for years, but not once have i thought the writers were at fault. common sense clearly tells us that execs and studio heads are the people pushing these remakes, not the writers. furthermore, i have no clue how people think ai would fix this lmao bc ai is literally just a machine with no original ideas. how hard is it to just pay writers smh also there are so many good original shows and movies out there (new spiderverse is fucking amazing and mindblowing), and i also choose not to watch things i don't like? it's literally that simple lmao
