@jessw0808 they are paid properly, please don't listen to the lies that they aren't being paid. When they say they aren't being paid, they mean that they aren't being paid a wage that allows them to work 26 weeks of the year. If you are ever in extra, you are part of the guild that is how they inflate their numbers to the point where it looks like a ton of people are not getting paid a lot when in reality a lot of people are just extras that do this as part-time work and they still get paid well for the day. They can make 24k for a weeks worth of work, then go do a normal job, but the guild can claim this person is in poverty. Because they don't make enough specifically from acting. Meanwhile, you have big actors that are being paid 60 million dollars to produce no content. I want to say at least a billion dollars was paid out to people to produce no content. Idiot money was paid out. So let's not pretend people make no money. The minimums in Hollywood allow you to work 20-30 weeks a year for 250-1mil. It's insane. However, now that a season isn't 24 episode, the same contracts would mean that you would have to work three of them to get the same number of episode work in. They don't want to find three different 8 episode contracts. They want Hollywood to pay the same rates for the eight-episode contract, and other idiocy. Sometimes they get f'd on residuals, that's true just like sometimes, they f the studios out of billions and end up producing nothing. Phoebe waller-bridge for example was paid 60 million dollars to produce no content
