"And imagine 1M videos with that level of instruction."

How much did it cost to produce these videos that you liked to?

If it's ~$10K/video, then 1M similar quality videos would cost you $10B.

We can produce videos at much, much less than $10k a video. Think about it, what does it cost to put an expert in a box and record them sharing their knowledge?

not $10,000.

My question is about these particular videos. How much does that hair stylist video cost?

we don't give that specific piece of information out (trade secret), but it's low enough that we see a road to profitability that's enough for us to ramp up production. :-)
