And apparently the SAG average is $40000, without accounting for costs like union dues nor the bargaining advantage that comes with union membership. When you look at non-union actors that drops to about $25000, and often has many costs to maintain due to the lack of protections that would come with union membership. Seems like youtubers and the like have a darn good deal considering it includes a far higher volume of low activity/effort/quality "actors" coupled with the independence and higher rate of higher scale earnings. Hollywood is way more top heavy , regardless of if secondary business ventures are excluded from both sides, as that likely makes yt even more fair in that more yt creators have secondary streams like merch and services than Hollywood actors do, where only the biggest names can earn much of anything by thier "brand" alone. I have to ask, did you even try to do a comparison or did you just google internet creator average income and the presume it was a pittance compared to that of the average of all working (and non working?) actors? (Ed: ugh just reread that and dont like _how_ it's written, but since the correct sentiments and points are there and rewriting would be an undertaking, I'm just gonna leave it. Sorry for any headaches the prose causes.)
