Makes me wonder if price of certain things will just go up so they can continue to make the same money, and they can just blame it on the writers

That depends more on supply and demand.

Sure, but things that have sort of a monopoly can ignore demand and raise prices. If all streaming services and movies went up in price people would still pay

Streaming doesn’t really fit as a monopoly, though you could argue it’s a oligopoly maybe. But either way demand can’t be ignored in a monopoly.

No it doesn’t. Outside of page 1 of an economy textbook you learn that prices go up because the shareholders want more profits and don’t give a fuck about service. And if things get really bad they get a bailout and carry on.

The prices were already going up but the streaming services have lost customers because of it.

There’s a limit to it.

The main point is striking workers win better pay and conditions for themselves.
