Seriously, they have a lot of people to support and no one has any marketable skills or even a high school diploma. They want to milk the tv show cash cow as long as possible.
Agree with the first part, they're trying to save the show.
At the same time, a very popular YouTube contributor doesn't need TLC to make money--you can make a lot of money from YouTube alone, so it's a dual-pronged strategy.
As for the second part, Jim Bob may not be college-educated, but he owns a small empire of varied investments, including towing businesses, commercial real estate, used car dealerships, residential real estate, construction and excavation, etc., etc.
They've got millions and millions of dollars already, no debt, and plenty of able-bodied workers. They'll be just fine.
