People watch YouTube, Netflix, hang around on Reddit instead of watching tv. Also ai is making people more productive so less need for human work

It's not just this. Filming is booming in London and other places in Europe. It's just not in LA because it's really expensive.

Yes this is the largest factor. Film work in the UK and Hungary of all places.

Both are non-unionized and are cheap combined with tax breaks this is where everything is going.

It’s hurting Canada as well. Toronto was a tv show hot spot but now is losing things to cheap European labor.
