[QUOTE="Torch10th, post: 15483496, member: 15703"] You're making assumptions based on something you are viewing on youtube. You have no idea what those "douchebags" mechanical ability is and you fail to realize that there may be solid reasons why you might see people send their cars off for work. Especially talking about vloggers since you brought it up, it's nearly impossible to get quality footage of what's going on while you are doing it. This is their job and their paycheck relies on getting the footage they need. As a result a lot of this stuff becomes a tax write-off for them as well. This is an incredibly naive statement. YouTube/Instagram/Snapchat etc. are business tools for people in the entertainment industry. Instagram models or other accounts with 6 figure subs can make $200-500 per post. Let that sink in for a second. For what amounts to a couple minutes, maybe half an hours worth of work staging the shot, etc. you're possibly making an effective grand an hour. 1 photo per day makes you $50,000-$75,000 per year. YouTube is the same. Superspeeders Rob claims to make about $1500-$1700 per million views. At close to 139 million views, he's made over 200,000 off of his channel and that's just based on his views alone. That doesn't account for product placement, direct advertisement, merch etc. You may not like it or agree with it, but for some people social media can be and is a viable career path. In fact if you're good with social media, you probably have greater job security than somebody that works at a coal-fired power plant. [/QUOTE]
