    You’re acting like they weren’t paid fairly to do their actual job, which was to write the scripts for the show in the first place.

    They don’t work on residuals. They get paid an agreed amount like every other job. According to the US Bureau of Labor statistics the average writer salary is USD$70k. That’s salary, not residuals. They are paid on average $70k to do their job. Is that not a fair average wage?

    The protesters and people like you are acting like the entire writing staff only got paid $3000 to write the show.
