Joey Bragg says Disney Channel would reboot shows under different names after the third season to avoid paying 100% of the WGA rate:
“They had a deal where the first three seasons of a show, you get paid 88% of scale. So it’s 88% of, like, minimum wage, pretty much, for the crew… by the third season, even if the show’s popular, they reboot it as a brand new show. We were ‘Liv and Maddie’ for the first three seasons, and the last season was ‘Liv and Maddie: Cali Style.’”

While 95% of SAG-AFTRA members earn less than $25,000 a year, last year the CEOs of Apple, Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Paramount & Comcast were paid over $280 million, their companies made over $115 billion in profits & they spent over $104 billion on stock buybacks. That's gross.
