As the Writers Guild of America strike enters its sixth week, members are taking to social media to turn their wrath toward Apple TV+, using the hashtag #BadApple during a “day of action” to call out the Silicon Valley streamer during its annual Worldwide Developers Conference for overworking writers for minimal pay.

“For Apple, the cost of our proposals is just $17 million per year. Last year, Apple reported almost $400 billion in revenue,” tweeted WGA captain Olga Lexell. “The cost of settling is reasonable, so what is Apple waiting for?”

Members also shared stories of how Apple TV+ has frequently employed the use of minirooms, which require showrunners to hire staff for a writers room to write more scripts for a series before it is even greenlit.
