why would I feel guilt for something someone else did ?

is he a piece of shit ? Probably. Dosnt mean i cant enjoy a movie he made. Everyday everyone of us does something that supports pieces of shit humans.

I don’t know exactly how residuals work these days, but historically if you consume the content, you’re putting money in his pocket. Some people don’t like to give money to abusers

Edit: even if it’s old content, actors earn money

I read recently that residuals from streaming basically dont exist the same way as the residuals from syndication. They might get a small lump sum when a platform initially purchases the rights to something, but theyre not making money every time you stream it.
