I don't think there's an industry on earth where it's normal for the low-level workers to be paid directly when the customer buys something. It being filtered through a bunch of business stuff is the norm everywhere I'm afraid.

    Residuals are standard in the American film/TV industry. They are paid a percent of ongoing profits of previous projects they’ve worked on.

    Another fairly common practice is ESOPs where over time workers at a company receive shares in the company, and thus dividends.
