I’ve seen how channels and videos have progressed over the years, and it has been amazing to see the progress in general, but the last year or two, I’ve been running into more and more so unrealistic personal lab scenarios, that… IDK, I have a feeling that most of this stuff is fake… or I really have no idea where they get the funds for the equipment they say they have in the videos.
Like I was watching this video about growing human neurons 🤨… like WTF, is that a thing now? I mean, I go in the store, buy a bunch of neurons and off I am to growing them? What are they, sea monkeys 🤨. Next, the equipment. One light microscopes and another UV based, not the cheapest ones on the market I might add. Those two easily add up to over 150K. I mean… really, where do people even buy those, it’s not something an idividual owns.
I’ve seen this with other channels as well, like the restoration chanels. A big ass 3D printer, an expensive lathe, all sorts of high precision milling equipment, laser cutters… I mean… where do these people get the money to buy these things, these are not cheap, sure, they’re not as expensive as a microscope, but they’re still pretty darn expensive, we’re still talking about at least 10s of thousands of dollars.
Am I missing something? Cuz I watch these clips and I feel more and more like a looser, like why don’t I have that, how much money do these people actually make from YT 🤨.
I don’t think of it as “how much does this person make”. Each channel is a business, and the YouTuber is a business owner. The things they buy for videos are business expenses. Only part of the channel’s income goes towards the YouTuber personally (like a salary). Some channels have actual employees they have to pay such as editors, event organizers, managers, which in turn work to make the channel bigger and earn more money.
If you think of them as businesses (companies), the fact that they’re buying expensive equipment for their business makes much more sense.

Don’t forget $600,000 for a destroyed Mclaren P1
Haven’t watched that…
Tavarish
Isn’t the goal with these rebuild channels to actually try to make money on their rebuilds?
Sure, Tavarish may have spent 600k on the car and 500k in parts by the end, but he should send up with an asset worth 1.5m.
Sure but that remains to be seen. Will someone really pay that much for a novice rebuilt flood car? Can Freddy afford to keep it?
