YouTube productions with over the top employee counts

I don't watch any of the highly produced YouTube shows like Watcher or Try Guys or whatever else might be out there, but i was just watching a Mr. Ballen video where mentions he has 40 full time employees. This seems insane. Obviously these guys are doing better than I so who am I to judge, but I can not fathom how a guy who tells solo stories for 25-30 minutes needs a 40 person full time staff.
Then the other productions are the same way, where they have 25-50 people working full time for often simple videos. I recall Caleb Hammer on Financial Audit having a huge staff too.
Is this just bad business and people hiring because it feels good and rewarding? Beyond one or two editors, maybe a writer or two, someone running the books, and someone running marketing how many more people can you need?

What is huge? I thought he had 3-5 people, but I haven't watched him in months.
Booking, making arrangements for guests (travel, lodging, cabs, food, etc.), production, editing, accounting, etc. takes a lot of man-hours.

Would rather pay family and friends than taxes?

In all liklihood many of the employees are probably just contracted to do certain specific work. I highly doubt guys like Mr Ballen have full time employees. Guys that film on location, etc probably do

I felt the same but he explicitly said "40 full time employees". Maybe they're full time overseas so like 25% of the cost.
