It's post-Christmas but why are you being a grinch?

These are young people trying to earn a living (or income supplement) doing something that clearly they love doing and having fun at it. Would you rather they get a 9-5 office job or bum around at the mall?

In the old days you would have newspapers or magazines doing car reviews (many that left much to be desired) or video reviewers such as MotorWeek that, frankly, is no better than the modern YouTubers at providing useful information. Of course as with everything else some YouTube reviewers do a better job than others, but on the whole I think they do a decent job filling this niche and I for one enjoy their videos.
