    lol I think you're both right, but @KAYTRANADA is right-er (I think)

    there is a sort of "industry plant" version of film / tv where you read a story about how some script got plucked from obscurity (usually bc someone spotted it on the blacklist) and then you realize the writer was repped or their dad or uncle was somebody

    I think the blacklist used to me more meritocratic, but like all successful things, once it became a moneymaker, it became more competitive to get on it, and competition means that those who succeed will be the ones with more resources and structural advantages

    Yeah I mean there’s plants everywhere and fake stories. I just don’t see it as “absolute waste of money”….I just don’t view anything like that to be real. I’m way too confident to let hard s*** scare me

    That’s the right attitude to have. There’s always a chance

    Even with the industry plant stuff, lacking advantages just means you have to work harder. And a lot of people have advantages and don’t still don’t succeed in film / tv / business etc. Just keep writing and creating stuff and putting it out

    network sitcoms are supposed to be corny on some level. cable shows are more edgy / less corny. black-ish is perfect and I will never speak an ill word of it. changed my life

    Yes I was also making goo gobs of money. Like $30,000 per month. And that didn’t include black-ish residuals I got from my “Super Rich Kids” (season 2, episode 23 I believe) episode

    I’d write for any show. It’s very fun. Some more fun than others. But I truly believe it’s the best job in the world. Or top 3. And the ones I’d put above it are very esoteric. Like being Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos. Or s*** Hasan has a great job. Or being Drake

    youre crazy for having those four names in a row

    Always thought the concept of black-ish was corny tho ngl

    When it first came out I hated the name an thought it was some goofy s*** created by white network executives.

    But then I watched it and realized it was great and funny as hell regardless of how I felt bout the name at first.
