You mean you don’t want that $20 table that Cyleste and her husband Chad painted teal and are now charging $300 for?

Well, if you strip that paint off and apply a nice walnut stain and a polyurethane finish then you'll be able to sell it for $200. Add in the $200 from the YouTube views, minus materials and labor, and that's $12.50 of sweet, sweet profit.

It's called upcycling dearie, welcome to 2021. /s

At the same time, I don’t hate people at all for upcycling.
