It's Complicated - Invidious

It's Complicated

Investigating the economics and hidden systems impacting everyday life.

It's Complicated explores the complex and often opaque systems behind the prices we pay every day: from supply chains and monopolies to pricing psychology and globalization, we explain why modern life costs what it does. Using data, history, business analysis and real-world examples, our videos break down the systems shaping the modern cost of living. From food prices, shrinking products, expensive housing, delivery apps, tourism, supermarkets, subscriptions, and the systems quietly reshaping how we live.
