Why do actors keep self owning themselves by admitting they are paid less than their co-stars?

Why do actors keep self owning themselves by admitting they are paid less than their co-stars? It's a very simple formula, the more famous you are, the more you get paid.

      You get a better agent when you are more famous so this is a tautology.

      Why do they need an agent in the first place? How was that rat job invented?
      Can't these turds negotiate their own pay and at least manage themselves? They do sod all aside from playing pretend.

    >admit
    When did people lose all objectivity in the media? Openly telling people “actor A made this much, actor B made this much.” Isn’t confessing to a crime. “Admission” implies the knowledge was begrudgingly given or otherwise withheld

      Matt Smith is a major star though? He was in Morbius and the next GoT show? WHo the frick is Clare Foy? Never heard of her, how can femoids be so braindead as to say they automatically get paid the same as their costar, do they think the male guy in that romantic comedy about the virgin got paid the same as Jenniffer Lawrence? Frick they are SO stupid, it's unreal.

        Matt Smith was Doctor Who which moronic Brits can't stop consuming. In Britain he's basically god.

    >We will pay you this much for the role. Deal?
    Actress: Yes (seethes silently)

    >We will pay you this much for the role. Deal?
    Actor: Frick off. My agent will be in contact to negotiate a better deal.

    Many such cases

    I hate how these morons talk about the industry but have no idea how it works, of course he got paid more he is a much bigger actor so his agents can ask for more, she is a literal who. This can lead to her getting higher paying roles in the future because she starred in this, but you don't go from acting in low budget garbage right to making millions in a television series.

      Every news site used to have comments. I even got in a pretty good fight with a Guardian writer a long time ago. When people were pointing out their mendacious lies or omissions they had to shut it down

    No one knows who Claire Foy is

    The real question is that did the hag kweenz get paid less compared to Tobias Menzies and Jonathan Pryce?

    >Why do actors keep self owning themselves
    lmao
    Women have spent the last 100 years ''''self-owning'''' themselves because they know that modern men are spineless weak cucks that will jump to help m'lady in need.

    >waaah boohoo, it's to haaaaaard to look after ourselves we're so helpless and incapable pls gib alimony and brutal divorce laws :'(
    >of course milady at once!

    >s-sure we have the right to vote now but you can't expect us to fight we're just helpless weak pathetic women pleeeease protect us uwuuu
    >of course milady I will get dismembered for you <3

    >waaaaah it's not fair, we're too pathetic and weak to compete against men, so we need our own special male-excluding leagues plus also equal pay for them because pleeeease 🙁
    >yasss kweeen

    Women don't care about making themselves look weak, incompetent, and pathetic.
    That's been their entire survival strategy for the last 80 million years.

    This is perfect for women to complain about because its very apexy. Women think the world is unfair because 80% of men don't exist for them.

    The truth is that there are more actresses and far more roles for women, its much easier to become an actress than an actor. They are more occupationally mobile, there is always a rapid rise available for someone who is hot and can remember their lines. Women used to complain about Cruise/Hanks/Costner and maybe Ford/Crowe getting paid colossal amounts, it never seemed to occur to them what it would mean if you were an actor that wasn't one of those guys. Basically a twenty year period where you're never going to make it. But then, those guys don't exist either.

    See also "women in tech". They always think they should be Zuckerberg, they never assume they'll be one of the, possibly millions now, of guys who bet on dot com and the tech boom and fricked up completely.
