Residuals. Netflix treats their movie and show portfolio like it's being rented by a handful of people instead of viewed by millions. So, residuals on a show like One Piece might be in the dozens of dollars instead of the deserved 10s of thousands. And while that might not impact principal actors all that much, writers, crew, and lesser actors depend on residuals to live between gigs.

Netflix just keeps reminding people that piracy is the answer.

How much does piracy pay writers and actors?

Nothing. Luffy is a pirate. Netflix asked a question to which "piracy" is the answer.

Oh, I just meant as a company in general. Realistically I hope the writers and actors strike a great deal and Netflix pays what it owes
