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 🤨.

      Oh yeah, the man’s a lunatic. Still, the idea is that the rebuild, in itself, should be profitable - and then there’s the YouTube money.

      He’ll be making hundreds of thousands just off the traffic this project is bringing to his channel.
