Would’ve been easier to make for the cast and crew. have more time to make the film without having to rush through it, adding needless stress. Also paying people, especially below the line, more money.

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t one of the biggest issues with direct to streaming is them not paying anyone below the line at all because they tend to cut a lot of costs?

Speaking from a UK film production perspective:

There's no distinction here between a film for streaming or not, rates are set by production budget, not platform. Only the worst cowboy productions don't pay people at all.

If you mean royalties or residuals, only above the line cast and crew ever get those in the first place. As an AD, I make roughly the same amount of money off a £1 million budget indie for Netflix as I do off of a £50 million feature cinema release.
