I just don’t know how/when this will end and it’s ramifications. I see concessions on overall pay, AI regulation of some kind, but the streaming numbers and the residuals are where I’m stuck. I fully believe that these streaming platforms are losing a shit ton of money and they don’t want those numbers out at all costs.

Also the 2% of revenue instead of profit, plus not basing revenues off of hard data on viewship but instead on some variation of viewers/internet traffic/social media buzz does not seem feasible to me. I could see them arguing and overall increase of payment similar to YouTube for streams…

I also feel like the industry as a whole is about to shrink anyway and this is giving studios basically a soft layoff approach, they may have been looking for.

I worry about this too, but I feel like there's so much waste elsewhere in the world of streaming besides actor payment or residuals. The sheer number of huge-budget new projects getting greenlit is staggering-shows or action movies that go nowhere. Meanwhile people on SUCCESSFUL shows are having trouble getting paid. Agree that some kind of financial reckoning for streaming is on the horizon though.

This is a man who worked for 20 years before becoming a series regular, nearly 30 before becoming a household name. He did regional theater, voiceover for commercials and anime dubbing in the meantime. He knows what it’s like to be a working actor. Listen to him! https://t.co/XVGSZ25uXx
