I mostly agree, but the actors and all are worried that they will lose their bargaining power completely, and the studios are gonna do really crappy things like use their faces / bodies /voices with little to no compensation. It's not just about replacement, it's about wholesale theft of their persons.


Reminds me of the Streamberry episode of Black Mirror https://black-mirror.fandom.com/wiki/Streamberry_Corporation

Anyone know how Netflix agreed to air (and create a likeness to itsself) such an episode. I enjoyed the episode, and was impressed with Netflix's liberal stance on allowing this, and impressed with the cautionary tale it tells -- i'm surprised because it seems against Netflix's interests.


The stupid part is the insistence that “their” faces are meaningful.
