The WGA strike was pretty funny. South Park did a good spoof on it.

"I did a good deed today honey."

To be serious, with how television has changed and cable in the process of dying, a Hollywood recession was inevitable. Streaming services are going to have less new content then before. (And a service like Peacock last year apparently lost a billion dollars, and were fine with that because that's the only way they know the future is going to be.) Throw on top of it there's a serious reckoning with the movie industry to be had. If they're now going to be just on HBO Max or Disney+ or whatever, they're not going to get near the monetary openings they're used to.
