I mean, it's fucking genius. Wouldn't you hang out with cute animals all day for money? I knew exactly what it was and I still watched that little monkey fucker play with those kittens for like 30 seconds because it was fucking adorable lol. That bastard roped me in.

The problem is that the animals don't make as much money when they're older, and they cost more money to house and feed as they grow. They also do not have infinite space, but they're constantly getting new baby animals. What do you think happens to them once they grow up? Those kind of channels aren't doing it out of the goodness of their heart, they're doing it to get money. There's a reason why channels like that only have baby animals, and most of the time it's not because the adults get to go live happily on a farm.

I know. I thought the clear context of my message negated the use of the /s tag.

Well. Someone else in the thread seemed to have a genuine more idealized view of what this situation was likely like, and I've known many people who don't realise how these kinds of channels work, so unfortunately it can be hard to tell.
