As the Hollywood strikes continue, celebrities have been turning to video message platform Cameo as a way to make money. Over 2,500 celebrities have joined or reactivated their accounts since July 14th, according to Cameo. “A few months before the strike, we actually struck a first-of-its-kind partnership, where the earnings that talent make from Cameo for business, actually accrue to their pension and healthcare benefits,” Cameo CEO Steven Galanis tells Yahoo Finance Live. “This has been really huge for” talent “to be able to come back to the Cameo platform, engage with their fans, and, you know, earn a living,” Galanis says. “Cameo has really become like a public utility in Hollywood. We’re there in the good times, we’re there in the bad times, and, you know, it really is a platform that matters,” Galanis adds.

Hollywood strikes, subscriber churn, sports rights: Big media woesWarner Bros. Discovery (WBD) has named former BBC and New York Times executive Mark Thompson as its CEO. It comes at a time of great change for the media industry. Traditional media companies like Disney (DIS), Paramount (PARA), and Warner Bros. Discovery are seeing their cable businesses decline while they are investing a lot of money in their streaming businesses. Activate CEO Michael Wolf says all of these companies are trying to position themselves for the 'direct-to-consumer' future and, as a result, they will increase their spending on content. Several of the big streamers have started raising prices. Wolf says thinks that, in the future, viewers are going to 'churn in and out among these services, price might not be the reason that determines it. It's just more about the availability of programming on those networks and streaming services,' Wolf tells Yahoo Finance Live.
