>>68154755It's just something that's hard for me to be sure of.
It definitely happens, but I don't know how much is because of things like financing and how much is them ACTUALLY having good enough books to be in the black.
Because the estimates I'm going on here are like this:
>Talent salary: $30,000 USD each>Manager salary: $50,000 USD eachI assume merch and the like is a "pays for itself" category, ain't no way they're loss-leading with that anymore, but assuming this, that's 10 talents for a $300,000 total salary, and at least like, 6 or 7 managers, which would be another $300,000 or so.
And I'd be surprised if the activities these boys are running is earning them back that much. I assume a good chunk is covered by things like VOD ad rev, but that's like, a few hundred bucks every 10,000 views or so, and they don't reliably get much more than 10,000 views a VOD, do they?
