I will say that it's probably not a case of just greedy execs deciding to be more greedy
But rather that the show isn't bringing in the revenue it was before

Cutting someone's paycheck in half out of nowhere sucks, even if they were making a ton before. A less dramatic or sliding paycut would would be better

The friends people back in the day were getting a million an episode, a few people from ER were on those dollars and I think the lost crew were on something similar also.

yes. that is what i mean. i'm not mad that voice actors for a cartoon are making millions of dollars per episode and there's people dying on the streets because they can't get shelter or food.

The two have nothing to do with each other
it isn't like if they took the pay cut all of that money would go to feeding the hungry
it would go to FOX

Well then maybe you should blame the millions of people watching the show so that it makes so much money

I just think that it isn't wrong for them to get that money. It is a shit ton of money, more than I would have guessed. Almost certainly more than any other voice actors on an animated show today, but that is because they have been doing it for two decades and are part of the reason the show went from cartoon sitcom to cultural icon.
So if the fans and audience have made their show such a success that it could support such huge paychecks, that is just good for them. It means their work paid off and they have been successful.
Of course, the refusal of paycuts to someone who makes crazy less money seems totally assholish but if I were making a large amount of money for decades and then had my paycheck cut in half out of nowhere I'd be upset to. Yes, I could easily survive on the cut paycheck but that doesn't mean I would be happy losing that cash.
The thing about popularity is that if a million people give you one dollar, you have a million dollars
a natural consequence in living in a world where audiences in the tens of millions are available is that ridiculous amounts of money can accumulate very quickly

My opinion is
You make something
And then you sell it
And the more people who buy it
The more profit you make
And that's not obscene
That's just the consequence of people buying what you are selling

Pretty much, yeah
obscenity only factors in if you are doing something inherently wrong. Say if you stole whatever you sold from another person and they got no credit/profit.

that doesn't make it right, either. frank welker refused to do a 30 second cameo on beast wars because it didn't pay enough money, for example.
Anti, Is it worth it to you to mow someone's lawn for a dollar?
No because you wouldn't make a profit on it.
Now say you had a lawn mowing business, you charge a rate you think is fair, as do most other people. Now someone asked you to mow their lawn for a thirty percent less? Would you do it? You could sit around and have some time off, or you could do it. Now what do other people think, should they also get this discounted rate?
By charging less than what you think is fair for your product you under value it.

Compared to what? MILF Island?

the voices of the Simpson family are probably more recognizable than almost anyone else in pop culture in the last decades
I too am furious that they don't get paid peanuts and the executives for FOX who, let's face it are the real patriots here get all the money.

Those MILFs work for much cheaper
