I'm not where I can listen to a video so this may be off topic. I sold my plasma in 1979-80. It wasn't a lot of money but it was cash. Set up in a college town so most of the donors were poor college students. I saw a few years ago another company set up shop and the price for a "donation" has increased 10x from what I got decades ago.
The procedure was donate a bag of blood, they filter it in the back room and give you the rbcs back. It was weird to me back then, makes more sense now with the market for young blood.
The whole thing about "young blood" is largely a farce. If the goal truly is to benefit from adenochrome, you'd most likely die from injecting blood from another individual directly into your body. This is not the way it is used. It is ingested through the mouth.
Now, if you follow what this news report is saying, and want to use the growth factors only, this is done via the filtering and concentration process for PRP...which uses the patient's own blood. But again, this is recognized therapy only for orthopedic purposes. Because of how the circulatory system works, any of these potential benefits are stopped when they reach the lungs, and before they get to any other organs. PRP doesn't move far from where it is injected when used for orthopedic therapy, which is why it requires precise imaging.
I did this also, back in '86/'87. It was my first and only year in college, and I wanted to have some money available for spring break.
The procedure you described was the same - they take a pint of blood, run it through the centrifuge and draw off the plasma. Then give back the red blood cells. I got $20 per visit, and could visit twice a week.
Before I started donating, I had to be screened. After the screening process, I was given an injection of some sort, to increase the particular type of antigen or whatever it was they were looking to collect. To this day, I have no idea what it was they injected into me - I was young and stupid, and didn't question authority of any kind. Same when I went into the military the following year - no questions as to what they were injecting into me. I trusted that they had my best interests at heart.

I remember blood drives for plasma decades ago. It does have uses for patients in need: https://www.redcrossblood.org/donate-blood/how-to-donate/types-of-blood-donations/plasma-donation.html
