I feel a little confused as to why more people don’t seem to do it. Apparently you can get like $200-300 a week and it seems like there are no serious short term or long term side effects, but I feel like I must be missing something.

Plasma has a longer shelf life than whole. A lot of the blood products extracted in America are sold elsewhere in the world so they prioritise the products that are easier and cheaper to ship around.
