it's not unreasonable to pay about the same rate for a writer or video editor as you do for a plumber or carpenter. it's going to be a bit steep. but they're compensating for taxation, fees, lulls in jobs coming in, etc. there is zero job security if you're freelancing, working as an independent contractor, or as a CEO.
your employer is only providing you with an illusion of income security so you don't have to worry about it. "everyone else" DOES have to worry though. employees are a bit sheltered like that.
