I mean, piracy is one of the very very few ways we have of fighting back, ad blocking fits the same description.

I'm kind of confused how you could have possibly believed youtube wasn't profitable. There probably has never been anything as close to as popular for video entertainment no matter how you slice it, and it's globally popular too. Even if they made .000000001 cent per video view, they'd still probably be printing money.

I thought I'd read that due to the massive expense of hosting the sheer amount of data, particularly when large placentals of the days is watched 1 or 2 times meant that it had been large overheads.
