    It costs that much because the people creating it fought for it. The youtubers are massively under paid for their work.

      You mean the faces and executives are paid; the people doing the actual work often get the shaft.

      I always think about this. Like a lot of the engineering youtubers I follow do some pretty dangerous stuff. They take the necessary safety precautions, but I have no idea how insurance can work when you’re flagrantly disobeying OSHA regulations.

      As an independent operator, you can abuse yourself in a way that legally nobody else is allowed to.
