Last I checked UPS Ground charges $0.90 per $100 of declared value (first $100 is included for free) (FedEx Ground is $1 per $100; first $100 is also included for free).

so basically it's a $9 fee if you want "decent" treatment for your packages.

No, it's 0.9% of value beyond $100, not $9.

He's saying insure a e.g. $200 package as if it was actually $1000. Just pay in excess of the items value in order to get UPS to treat it appropriately.
