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.

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.

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 of Sep 2%2C 2023,States is %2422.53 an hour.

Ah, so they’re numbers you made up and $22/hr is the correct rate. Got it.
