I definitely feel this happening for me as well. The weirdest/hardest part for me has been getting used to not being able to answer everyone’s questions. I’m less familiar with the facebook/twitter/amp webpages side of the internet now and having to learn to cope with not being my friends one stop shop for everything on the internet
The channel you linked is in the top 2.5% youtube channels, uploaded a video a couple years ago that hit 9.5 million views, and had an ongoing sponsorship deal with square space and other large companies.
The person behind the channel also appears to work at a college doing this kind of thing as their job. The way you get access to neuron cultures is by having a job where you work with them, being passionate about teaching and sharing that with other people, and asking nicely.
In this particular case, the youtube channel seems to be a hobby. A side thing. It’s not the driving force behind the availability of their tools and equipment.
A lot of these channels start by using equipment from their job, or losing money on a youtube channel as a hobby while doing other work. If you already have/work at a wood shop, there isn’t a startup cost to use a lathe. If you work in a lab, you can often use tools when they aren’t being used for work projects.
The vast majority of youtube channels don’t make any money. The majority of channels that do make money don’t make enough to live off of. The few that do usually make most of their money from brand deals, donations, and merch.
I think online the topic has broadly fallen into either “no abortion ever” or “abortion is always okay” and most people’s opinion falls somewhere in between.
Like, I think most people would agree that abortion the day a baby is due is wrong and most believe that abortion the day after conception is okay
