    Better to upload it to torrent and ask for donations. I am sure they could get more than 3k.

    Don’t leave the strike. Netflix needs to pay the price

      Doesn’t another distributor own the rights to Suits, and Netflix just pays for streaming rights? Shouldn’t the owners of the rights be paying the writers?

    I say stay on strike for as long as possible. It’s a benefit for all mankind. I’m finally catching up on a ton of stuff I was behind on. Also, why work for scraps if you’re not getting paid appropriately.

    Absolutely horrifying considering how well suits is written.

      Does it get better? I made it to the second season and it started getting very formulaic. Client is sympathetic, fraud lawyer takes pity, he’s wrong, cynical lawyer saves the day, makes some sacrifice so you know he’s really a good guy. Introduce someone threatening to expose fraud lawyer now and then.

    This is even more insane than finding out the creator and showrunner for Squid Game made $100k for it.

    Proportional to the writers’ effort in the final few seasons, I suppose.

    In all seriousness, that’s pretty fucked up.

    In all fairness, based on the accuracy of how courts are portrayed in Suits, the writers spent anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes writing this. Pretty impressive pay.

    source: watched the entire series and loved it

    Edit: this is a bit of a semantic but X billion minutes is a completely meaningless metric. Netflix isn’t paid by minutes spent watching something. You could assume those minutes mean a liklihood of customers being retained or added, but without data on that relationship it remains an anecdote really. It could be a trillion minutes watched. If it neither gained nor retained customers for Netflix it has no meaningful relationship with the writers, actor, or producers “rightful” earnings.
