Abstract

The article discusses Aaron Paul's comments regarding the lack of residual payments he receives from the streaming of "Breaking Bad" on Netflix, despite the show's ongoing popularity. During the SAG-AFTRA strike, Paul expressed his frustration, stating that it is unreasonable for him not to earn from the show's continued success on streaming platforms. He highlighted the broader issue of fair compensation for talent in the streaming industry, noting that while "Breaking Bad" has significantly benefited from its availability on Netflix, the actors do not see a share of those profits. The article also mentions that Netflix plans to stop streaming "Breaking Bad" in February 2025. [Extracted from the article]
