    The price of things just keep getting higher and higher little by little, but my income isn’t anywhere near what it was before Covid.

      That’s the issue, Covid boasted all these guys profits above and beyond normal as we were all stuck at home for two years with nothing else to spend on. No they want to maintain those profits but people still only have the same amount of money to go around.

        Did it boost their profits? They may have gotten more subs and with it more revenue, but aren’t they paying royalties on every stream? Seems more streams per sub would cause profit-per-sub to go down.

        Probably more total profit over all, but a reduced margin.

          No, that’s why writers and actors are striking.

          Do they pay royalties on each stream? Isn’t that what the strikes at the moment are about?
