I'll look forward to reading this yet again next week, alongside all the entitlement in the comments section that seem to think running YouTube is free and recommending trash alternatives which have less than 1% of YouTube's content and don't even work.
See you next week!
Google is a multi trillion dollar company. They can afford to run youtube at a loss for decades, if not centuries to come.
They don't want to because they are greedy and "need" to grow their profits yearly.
Get the fuck out of here with your bullshit ass shilling for a corporate entity that would kill you if it was profitable enough.
Why would google run YouTube if it's making negative profit? Seriously. Why would anyone do that?
Am I greedy too because I expect my work to pay more than it costs me to live?
Because they're a monopoly and should get nationalized to ensure they align with the citizens rather than with the greedy shareholders.
