Royalties are paid to, potentially, a lot of people. Most a-list actors will get royalties with every dvd sold (and increasingly views on streaming services,) and such like.
I’m missing something here, if they produce it and stream it, who would pay those royalties?

ohhh okay, so it’s even better if nobody watches it?

for netflix, yes. I assume Obamas and others make more with every view. maybe a few cents…but still.

They would pay the "royalties". It's actually residuals, and it's usually paid to the actors and senior crew (director, producers, etc), from what i understand.
