And streaming has resulted in way more old content being available so there are now shows that are unlikely to have been in reruns that are generating residuals that previously weren’t.
Big Tech hasn’t destroyed anyone Livelihood, infact its led to more content than ever being produced meaning there is more work for everyone and hence more money to be made.
Someone has drank the kool-aid I see.
The actors who these demands actually help are the season regulars who got paid many many many many times above scale so already make a ridicous amount from their streaming residuals let alone residuals from other revenue streams.
