Emperial Young, a Los Angeles-based writer, tells Indiewire she's been on a hunger strike while picketing outside Netflix's Hollywood headquarters on Sunset Blvd since Aug. 16. Young says it's great that The OA creators were given a platform to tell their story, "but for them to then take the platform away after two seasons because of metrics, I think that they’re thinking too much in the short term.” She adds: "At the end of the day, they’re trying to build a content library, and who’s going to want a content library of half-finished stories? It’s just really disappointing to think that a lot of people might still start watching the show, and then can’t get the entire story because they canceled it.”
