Who gets paid for that? Nobody gets paid for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although the Dancing With the Stars star acknowledged that she received more Full House residual money when she was younger, she explained that it dried up because the ABC show doesn\u2019t run on TV as often.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSure, in my 20s, there would be money, but not reliable,\u201d Sweetin said. \u201cYou don\u2019t know how much it\u2019s going to be or how often they\u2019re going to run the show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added, \u201cSo, sometimes you\u2019re like, \u2018Oh, cool.
