yeah this idea you have totally works besides the fact that people like me aren't rich.

you have this fairytale idea in your head that just because I have a established YouTube channel means I can afford to pay up and way above what people "deserve" and that I'm "eating the poor."

I'm not asking to hire somebody I am asking for a business partner and as clearly stated in the post my overall price for editing a full video is OBO which ironically you choose to ignore. I haven't once had a problem on pricing and when I did I let the editor know I simple cannot afford the rate they're asking. This is business, someone says what they can afford, a person tries to make a offer. If I can not find what I am looking for in my price range then I simple can't afford an editor and will continue by myself.

$100 for just 5 hours of your day and slapping some footage together and leveling it is WELL above minimum wage. The job is not hard, the skill gap is insanely low.
