All actors have a contract between their agencies and the productions (often the production companies and the agencies are the same). In Asia the particularity is that all the players have sponsors who increase their income. Some productions pay a percentage of profits from views to the actors (whether through their own sites such as GMMTV or Youku or via external paid platforms: GagaOOLala, Viki, iQIYI...)
It sometimes happens that despite the popularity of certain series, the income generated is not enough to pay the actors (creation budget too high, actors' salaries too high, etc.). This happens quite regularly to small companies. But it also happens that the actors are not paid because of embezzlement (certain companies hit the headlines for these facts 2-3 years ago)
Actors are paid even if you have to pay a subscription.. You don't know how it works. Productions sell their series/movies only for distribution to platforms like Viki, GagaOOLala or iQIYI. These platform can broadcast the series/movies for a certain time but they have to pay the productions if they want to broadcast them for longer.
They always upload ALL of their series on Youtube (except Cherry Magic copyright issue).
hope so but if they do like they did with a previous series that they put on DisneyHulu (if I remember correctly) the series was not simultaneously on their YT channel but I month after... And we had all cut scenes on their YT channel while their broadcasted it on Disney.

I don't "Freak out" like you say. It's just a lack of consideration for international fans not to say where we can see the series. Promoting certain platforms is good but it is also good to consider all fans rather than a certain category. Consideration and respect for people changes a lot of things in life.

Maybe not for this one since they put almost all their BL catalog on Rakuten Viki. And if it's to spoil the content of each episode before they broadcast them on their YT channel, what's the point?
