I just think that there has to be transparency between the streamers and the gills on what is being watched. You can't pay somebody for a hit show. The same rate of pay and residuals as a non hit show. That's not what would happen in the broadcast world. And I think every couple of years as we see an evolution in the technology, there's more hiding of the hands of the money because no one understands it. Also, I think something that will probably come to a head on the next agreement is once we see how AI starts to evolve.
