Entirely unsurprising, but I’m still very tired

It's sympathetic because these types of people are usually funded per-project. Yes she made $7000 for less than a month's work but that may be her only work for months to over a year. The hope would be that since this movie has taken off, she would immediately get a bigger project, with better pay and experience less downtime between jobs. But who knows. Since she went on twitter and it set-off a huge struggle-session over there, she might get blacklisted now for complaining.

There's nothing wrong with complaining and discussing one's wages of course. But this is America where you're not allowed to bite the hand that feeds. Lower-level employees on projects should be able to negotiate for percentages of BO but the big companies that pick up these movies won't let that happen. Everyone just gets told "this is the way it is, work harder".
