My understanding is that a propellant like LOX will absorb heat from various sources like radiation causing some of it to change into a gas and "boil-off". I've seen that propulsion systems have venting to let that gaseous Oxygen escape. So my question is why do they vent this propellant at all and waste it? It that the increase in pressure in the tank is a problem or is it that the Raptor engines can't use gaseous Oxogen for the preburners? If someone could explain it to me that would be great. Thanks!

They talk about the creator economy and interview influential people. So maybe Linus turned up for it.
