From Fake Steve:

"Obtain a clue, people. You're sitting there fighting over residuals and terms of this and that when what you should be doing is leaving the system altogether and helping to build the next one. But you can't do that because you can't get off the heroin of network money. You're hooked to a lifestyle. For all your groovy talk and hip little soul patch beards, you're the most risk-averse people in the world. You're lifers. I mean, you belong to a fucking union! How fucked up and 20th century is that?"

He has a point.  However... Realistically the writers have bills to pay.  They can't just cut over to the new way.  There is no payroll dept set up over there yet.  Entrenched as they are a few will defect.. more will likely follow.. the whole thing will come apart faster than anyone anticipates..
