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.
