    Honestly.

    I don’t understand why people are so up in arms around artists and the entertainment industry. Flat payment is commonplace in most industries. These people agreed to the payment they were given.

      You basically agree to it with a knife in your back because it is the only deal available and they’re using the money and power against your desire to be heard or seen.

      And now they’re out here trying to get a better agreement as is their right, and you’re bitching about it.

      Why are you so upset that writers are trying to get a living wage?
