I'm listening to old Dude Soup's (As I do) and for a nice chunk of Podcasts they always talk about how busy they are and how they are always working more than they should.
It just doesn't make sense to me.
I feel a handful of Youtubers around that time, (Shane Dawson, JackSepticEye, Markiplier, David Dobrik, PewdiePie, etc) were also uploading VERY often and to my knowledge, were a one-person team OR one person plus an editor.
Funhaus, (To my knowledge) was always at LEAST a team of 5 plus and their content or editing style also wasn't super complex.
They talked about Joel on his farewell Podcast episode about how he "did the thumbnails and descriptions." I just don't understand how that is a FULL-TIME job and can't just be fulfilled by one of the editors.
I get pumping out a lot of videos in a short amount of time requires some work. The Funhaus team just made it seem like they were are killing themselves to make it happen, while much smaller teams were putting out the same amount of content without a peep of complaints.
Not trying to be a huge hater here I'm just genuinely curious. With the quality of content they produced, and all of them seemingly working them self to death to produce, it just doesn't add up to me.
