I saw this video linked here and it didn't sit right with me; I couldn't point out why though.

He raises some interesting points to keep in the back of your mind. How the complaints against generic manufcaturers, the FDA has also had against big pharma.

He also raises the point of how a netflix actress (I didn't know that it was her) and 6 other people made a video with no sponsors. The video is not going to recoup enough to justify its cost, so how is the gap being plugged?

There are a few more interseting points in there.

I don't know much about the no sponsors, but their videos regularly get 200k viewers. Is that a lot? She also does regular pieces for the channel along with a bunch of other reporters/hosts, so I'm not sure if there's anything there due to the lack of funds piece. Had no idea she was an actress though

    If you watch the video, he compares it with one of his own videos that got 200k views.

    Its ad revenue was only $500. And he says its just him producing and editing and doing everything.

    There is something there: $500 isn't enough to cover even 1 part time employee...so how are they plugging their finances? External funding by vested interests?
