The fact that residuals dont exist for streaming services is seen as a problem by these workers, and we should support them.

This is really the core point imo. The people who work these jobs want better conditions. They have come together collectively to make demands. Streaming residuals are part of their demands. Uncritical support.

We can get into the wonkery of the specifics of the labor value of various kinds of work and their theoretical value, etc, but the bottom line is that no one knows the work better than the people who perform that work. And those people have spoken, are speaking, and will continue to do so until they get what they’re entitled to.
