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

Better to upload it to torrent and ask for donations. I am sure they could get more than 3k.

Pay the writers - sign the contract! ✊

Wow this is so fucked.

Don't leave the strike. Netflix needs to pay the price

[-] Zorque@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

Doesn't another distributor own the rights to Suits, and Netflix just pays for streaming rights? Shouldn't the owners of the rights be paying the writers?

I say stay on strike for as long as possible. It's a benefit for all mankind. I'm finally catching up on a ton of stuff I was behind on. Also, why work for scraps if you're not getting paid appropriately.

How much were the writers paid for their initial work?

[-] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 year ago

This is even more insane than finding out the creator and showrunner for Squid Game made $100k for it.

Fucking criminal.

Absolutely horrifying considering how well suits is written.

Does it get better? I made it to the second season and it started getting very formulaic. Client is sympathetic, fraud lawyer takes pity, he’s wrong, cynical lawyer saves the day, makes some sacrifice so you know he’s really a good guy. Introduce someone threatening to expose fraud lawyer now and then.

And unions are still not seen as a good (let alonr important) thing by many americans...

Proportional to the writers' effort in the final few seasons, I suppose.

In all seriousness, that's pretty fucked up.
