That's the thing though even when it was Netflix and Hulu, there wasn't big money in streaming if you break it down to the actor and writer level. Now that it's fragmented, piracy is picking back up. Broadcast TV vastly overpaid for content compared to streaming.
To quote Livia Soprano, the streaming services are like a man with a Virginia ham under one arm crying the blues 'cause they ain't got no bread.
