Easy formation of hydrazine sulfate

Ok so this is surprising read
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrazine_sulfate


Looked up hydrazine sulfate preperation and shows
ammonium sulfate with bleach.
Hydrazine sulfate is formed this does not seem correct
Is this synthesis possable

This is a question I asked chemplayer after he posted his procedure on his channel.
His answer was, technically yes, but you need a dilute solution which results in an enormous (impractical) loss of yield.
Look up his comment if you wish.

I have had no problems with urea. My yield was low but that was mostly due to doing a very small batch. I only needed a tiny bit anyway.
I can't remember whether I followed chemplayer, doug's lab or NileRed -- all three are similar but one was a lot clearer than the other two as far as procedure goes.
