You could do this for YouTube views. "How I fed my family of twelve for ten dollars a week*", popping by various cities to get the best prices on unprocessed food ingredients, to serve them up some gruel, totally ignoring the travel costs.

Flying a thousand miles to pick up a pack of dried lentils, then another thousand miles to get a couple of tins of chopped tomatoes and then some more miles to pick up a bag of flour - that would have made great content a few years ago. This would be legitimate because the revenue from the 'content' would have paid for the flying.
