    “One commenter pointed out that the amount of work needed to complete such a contract equates to a full-time job.”

    Oh, the humanity.

      A full time job that paid $12500 without benefits for roughly 5.5 months of work if they release 3 videos a day, 7 days a week with sponsored content. No one should take that.

      Edit: fixed missing 0.

        3 videos a day for 5.5 months (about 167 days). That’s 500 videos. 500 x $25 = $12500, not $1250.

        I have no clue if it’s feasible to make three videos a day for 5.5 months, but I guess if the length of the video doesn’t matter then It must be doable.

        It could be worth it if they can also make money through other companies for the same videos. Plus if they’re popular enough that Amazon is paying them then they must already be making ad revenue or something.

        I don’t know. I’m not a pro, just spitballing.

          People don’t tend to work weekends. So, 5 days a week, not 7 days a week. These are sponsored videos, so they are not making money through other companies.

          Do the weirdo simp for Amazon all you want, the maths don’t add up in your favour. It’s still crap.

            I said I’m no pro and just spitballing, your last line about being a simp is pretty strange.
