The Impact of the Actors' Strike on TikTok, AI, Podcasts, and Georgia's Movie Industry

The ongoing strike by SAG-AFTRA and WGA against the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers is causing a ripple effect on TikTok and the creator community. Content creators are self-policing and publicly shaming influencers who appear to cross the picket line by attending premieres or taking brand deals. The strike has led to confusion and stress for influencers, who risk being banned from joining SAG later in their careers if they cross the picket line. Studios, recognizing the value of influencers in marketing, may try to lean on creators for promotion during the strike. However, the creator community is already enforcing the strike rules, showing support for the unions and emphasizing the importance of collaboration and community during this time.
