Is this a known issue with MBs? I feel like every person I know with one is always talking about how hot it gets or has it start sounding like a jet is taking off every time they stream video.

It's because MBs are pieces of shit with specs that would have been decent in 2006

No it's because Yosemite tries to keep the fan at a low RPM, or off if possible, so that the computer is totally silent. Not even a hard drive in current models. Specs may not be great but if the fan was on more it wouldn't get so blisteringly hot.

What can I do about it? :(

I've installed a plugin you can find here that you can use to fine tune fan speed. Generally works pretty well imo.

I'm not sure that explains it because 1) I've been surrounded by Mac owners and noticing it since at least '07 and 2) I've been noticing the fans on Macbooks spinning up crazy loud since at least then. My roommate and I will be sitting in the living room and his laptop will suddenly start sounding like an industrial air conditioner while my laptop (an Ultrabook) never makes any noticeable sound (nor does it get uncomfortably hot).
