Homie, if you want to believe the Entertainment business is merit-based and the longer you're in the business, the more you get paid, that's on you. You're really treating the Entertainment business like a person who works at pension-based office job, a person whose merit and pay can increase with time. When in reality, those who get paid the most are the ones with the most leverage: for example, singer Katy Perry had much less experience as the previous judges of American Idol, but guess what they paid her? $25 million per season. Why did they paid her that much, was it merit based? No. Was it how long she's been on her judging job? No. It was because she had the leverage and the show knew she would bring-in viewers, hence the $25 million per season. So, it's not about a natural progression in salary, it's about what the market will bear in terms of your leverage.
