    I have no idea about production cost, but 3500€ sounds like a lot. Still, the days of “broadcast yourself” are clearly over (just look at the production value of philosophy tube, not to mention MrBeast). Unfortunately, cooking videos are notoriously demanding videos, at least when it comes to lighting and camera, etc. It’s really easy to make food look gross on camera.

    Here’s an interesting video on cooking on youtube

      From my TV exp. any “show and tell” videos are surprisingly hard, but food is a nightmare. Still it sounds like some really high costs.

      i think philosphy tube is broadcasting herself though, she’s an actress and likes to put on a show, of course she’s started to put on more of a show once she’s gotten comfy in her skin & has a budget to do it

      she’s having fun whilst making educational videos, it’s a win/win

      it is a shame that everyone feels a pressure to perform to such high standard. if “yourself” isn’t selling well enough you’re either dropping out of youtube or ending up changing yourself into someone you’re not

        The “broadcast yourself” bit was meant more like “just turn on your webcam and start filming stuff”.

          speaking as an artist - we like to fuck around with the mediums we have, see how much we can express ourselves through it. but yeah not everyone wants to do that, and by now it’s a requirement to be “unique” and “the best” which is whack
