Idk why you're leading with writer pay, going into actor pay (most don't make squat) and then execs at the big companies involved are tossed in as an afterthought. Probably why you're getting downvoted.
I am getting downvoted because people cant bother to read beyond one sentence.
Also, I dont care about imaginary internet points.
Dude if writers actually made enough money then it wouldn't be such a huge thing that they get sponsored free lunches during the strike. Thats a fucking meal... However the profit produced on some shows is obscene in comparison. Put 300 mil in and get 500 mil out, thats 200 mil profit... You're getting downvoted because you don't understand the economics of the industry while being overconfident that you do.
Why would a writer make a good story for someone paying them in dogshit and loose change?
