The sorry state of streaming residuals shows why SAG and the WGA are striking.

    Damn. That payout is a disgrace.

    To clarify, this is how much “residual” pay the writers got out of the show being streamed after production. Imagine being a writer on one the biggest shows on a platform, and all you get for it being successful is like a tenth of a months rent.

    The truth is these companies won’t give in unless the strike starts hitting their revenue… there needs to be a lot of shows on hold and garbage movies produced over time due to lack of good writers, only then something will happen… which i think is going to be a long fight. I’m hopeful that some good comes out of this strike for the labour.
