that’s the fun part, basically none of the money you pay actually goes to the people who made the thing.
like 95-100% of the money that the crew of a movie or TV show makes is paid to them during production. There might be a handful of crew, typically writers, actors, and directors who get residuals, but that’s typically a very small fraction of the total amount they got paid.
Your money goes to the studio who produced the film/show in order to recoup their investment. and in my experience, the studio doesn’t actually give a shit about the creatives who made the thing you love. They’ll get rid of them for someone cheaper at the first opportunity, and a lot of them are trying to get rid of them for AI right now.

Netflix don’t do residuals.
