According to reports, producers expect writers will run out of money, possibly lose their homes and be forced to come to bargaining table. Producers denied these reports.

It also doesn’t help that the residuals model is such a mess. You get paid when the content is posted to a streaming channel but isn’t even being watched.

Stream viewership numbers are some of the most tightly guarded secrets in the world right now. People have been fired from studios for looking at these numbers without authorization. Even when they’re released to third parties due to contractual requirements (such as music licenses), they’re only released with a 6 months delay.

Until there’s transparency about viewership numbers, this will remain a mess.
