I agree with the idea of project performance based pay, there’s a reason it became the sustainable model before the streaming “”disruption””. But the problem kind of becomes that the platforms have much more control over what people watch than TV stations did.

I am sure there are a ton of details all parts need to examine rigorously, but in concept it does sound like an improvement. Not too far removed from how for example good DVD sales could help talents financially long term before streaming removed that revenue stream. Hopefully it would also lead to better shows and movies for us consumers in the future.
If I'm understanding this right, they're not even counting current subscribers. I'm not clear what even counts as a new subscriber, does it include people who turn their accounts on and off?
