Like on principle, I know that the writer’s and actor’s guild and union shit is all good. I don’t think all the success from a movie or show should go 100% to the company, but it still feels weird saying that a Hollywood actor is working class.

What do y’all think? Am I just being a dumbass?

No youtube/twitch etc. doesn't employ creatives for a wage, it's a freelancing platform that lets you compete for a performance bounty.
