@agw5425 you are removed from reality, all I see talking is spiteful bitterness
You complain about how writers used to make residuals, saying no other jobs do that, when that is blatantly a lie.
A salesman makes a base salary and a commission on top of that based on how many sales he makes, his final salary is partially dependent on his performance.
A book writer makes base pay from a publisher when he releases a book, and makes royalties beyond that is based on how many books he sells, with the publisher expecting a certain threshold to be reached
This is basic knowledge, many jobs offer bonuses or royalties based on performance and for a TV or movie writer it should be the same, any company making profit on showcasing a show or movie should be paying residuals, that's how cable has worked for decades, but not how streaming works
Moreover it's utterly insulting to tell people who've invested years or decades into a career to just get another job, is that what you told minors who striked for better working conditions, to just quit if they didn't like it? Well if everyone had that sentiment we wouldn't have experienced career professionals, how would you like your toilet to be fixed by an apprentice who's only worked 5 months because he hasn't been sick of his job once in his life
