to people saying YouTube is a moneysink for google:
yes it is, if you just look at direct expenses of running it. but you're overlooking the fact that it has enabled google to amass so much data(we're taking about 500 hours worth of videos being uploaded per minute) that they can train anything with it.
it's a service that's too big to fail. even whole governments, courts, and other institutions depend on it. so, I refuse to believe that YouTube will be non-existant because a sliver of users refuse to be profiled by invasive advertisements.
I used to believe that.
Then Elon Musk showed us that nothing is too big to fail.
Twitter / X are far from failing simply because your bias is peeking through and "Musk bad"
You musk fanboys are hilariously delusional. To pretend Twitter is doing even ok is a joke.
Pretty sure my bias isn't peeking when I have a dozen comments mocking ol' Elong Muskrat.
