      How much do the studio, producer, directer, and showrunners make? I think the writers are equal to the producer, directer and showrunners at least. Do they make more than I do? Probably. All of us should be sharing in more of the profits, not taking others down.

      Again, THEY DON’T OWN THE PRODUCT.

      Answer the question. Why is a company entitled to print money off the creative work of artists? What entitles them to that and not the people who actually create the value?

      As it is, they are paid $25-35K per episode which is a LOT of money for a weekly show per season.

      Lmao, you don’t know what you’re talking about. What right wing rag told you this shit? Virtually no writers are making that much. I’d be shocked if a dozen are. Do you think the WGA is made up solely of millionaires?

      You’re not arguing with me about it because you’re so uninformed you can’t even have a conversation about it.

          I did and your numbers are wildly inflated. The average rate for network TV is $22.50 an hour, or $49,500 per year assuming full time employment, which would put them at $3,300 per episode with a 15 episode (roughly halfway between the old 22 episode format and current 10 episode format) season per year.
