    The average salary of a USA writer is USD$70k/year btw. That’s not including residuals. They’re hardly being paid peanuts.

    Also back then scribes we’re likely some of the only people that could read and write. They had desirable skills. With the quality of tv and movie writing these days these writers clearly aren’t highly skilled or desirable.
