it's crazy that Wozniak would participate in such a service. Is he running out of money?

I think some just like making themselves available, but then you see a lot of the ones listed on Cameo that looks "cheap" at ~$100 or so are videos of an average length <2m. If you can make $100 whenever you're bored and have 2 minutes or can sit down and churn out 20 in less than an hour for $2k, you might be tempted even if you have decent amounts of money.

It's a very low effort way for him to make money, $500 to record a 1-5 minute long personal video, or even more for "business" videos, $10k/video + $2,5k-$12,5k for license depending on duration

[mihaic]

That's very cynical. What's the point of "fuck you" money if you still have to be a talking money and sell your reputation?

[beaeglebeached]

Wozniak had like 4 marriages and 3 children, in a state that loves bleeding breadwinners dry in family court ( in fact after 10 years spouse is considered used up and fully depreciated so could be lifelong payouts). This may be a scenario similar to the doctor who killed Michael Jackson, who despite massive income was drowning and did desperate things .

Couldn't he just have made another guest appearance on The Big Bang Theory?

As much as I adore him, his hands are already dirty from participating in various BitCoin scams before.

They used his name and image without permission and illegally in a scam. That's the opposite of participating.
