'Suits' Was Streamed For 3 Billion Minutes on Netflix and the Writers Were Collectively Paid $3,000
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" 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.
I hope the writers get what they want. The problem is that the strikes are actually saving the studios money so it won’t be soon.
Saving money, according to the studios. That's the studio bullshitting to intimidate people.
Saving them money now for massively reduced future revenue though.
Now that is a stat that puts into perspective why the actors and writers are striking.
