I agree, the lack of heavy hitters because of Covid means it's a questionable time to be increasing fees. I'm fine with paying more for content with genuinely increased quality, but my question right now would be... Where is it?

It also annoys me somewhat that they seem to pump huge portions of their budget into "star power" - hiring well known faces who no doubt command a large fee, rather than putting the money into writing, locations and effects budgets.

I've watched several Netflix original movies where I've thought it was a decent enough film... But could have done with more spent on certain post-production bits... And it's has a Hollywood face in the central role when the film would have been just as good (occasionally better) with a less well known lead.
