On the chapter "The Myth of Value" and I'm reminded of two things.
1. Someone once said "Movies are made by rich people for poor people, and theater is made by poor people for rich people." I can't recall where I heard that from, but I've thought about it often when it comes to making art and for what medium... I wonder where making TV fits in? I know the phrase is reductive, there are people at all levels, but?

2. I'm on the part about streaming shows affecting income, and I wonder if writers did get a better deal after the SAG strike...I kind of want to read the contract when I'm finished with this book.
