[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) Again- THEY WERE ALL PAID WHEN THEY WROTE THE SHOW/MOVIE. $3,000 isn’t their only take home from their efforts. Stop moving goalposts. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] outer_spec@lemmy.studio 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) My apologies, I thought you meant that the $3000 was what they were paid when they wrote the show. I misinterpreted what you were trying to say. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) No worries. Yeah. They get paid anywhere between $25K and $35K per episode of network television. More if they’re good. Many are contracted and salaried as well. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Got any proof of that? This shows the average TV writer pay is $22/hr which is less than a basic warehouse job where I live. https://www.ziprecruiter.com/Salaries/TV-Writer-Salary#:~:text=As%20of%20Sep%202%2C%202023,States%20is%20%2422.53%20an%20hour. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yeah. It’s called google. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 1 point 2 years ago* (1 child) Ah, so they're numbers you made up and $22/hr is the correct rate. Got it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago* (1 child) Just because I’m not entertaining your dumb argument, doesn’t mean I’m wrong. Google will net you the results you want. So whatever side of this you’re on, you can find the numbers that support your argument. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. THEY DON’T OWN THE PRODUCT- THEY DONT GET RESIDUALS. This is how EVERYTHING works. Music studio engineers do not get paid royalties when you by a CD. The guy who designed the sword of the character you play in a game doesn’t get paid every time the game is downloaded. Those who took the risks do. Those who paid into the product’s development do. Get over it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Lol the fact that you think there are 'sides' when it comes to a calculated average rate of pay is pretty telling. Not to mention you got hostile the second someone questioned you and posted legitimate numbers from a site dedicated to job listings, while you stick to numbers that, as far as we can tell, were sourced from your own imagination. If it doesn't matter then why are you getting upset? If it doesn't matter then studios will continue on producing content without the writers. Why are you referencing music engineers and not songwriters in your analogy? Could it be that you know songwriters earn royalties for the work they produce? They create the product being sold (and resold ad nauseum) so they should be compensated for that. If their work didn't matter then the strike would have zero impact. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago The fact that you think I’m upset is hilarious. We can be done here. A thing more is a waste of time. permalink fedilink source parent
