As soon as it gets split off from google and they no longer have the money machine to fund them and have to fight on a level regulatory-monitored ground for ad revenue you can bet your ass it will.

AFAIK youtube is profitable now. It was not for years, but is now.

  • Yes, but it could perhaps be more profitable, if they cut spending on this aspect?

    • For every year that passes, storage becomes cheaper, but the total size of youtube's video repository grows. I wonder what the net effect of all that is in the end. Ever increasing costs? Or maybe it kinda evens out.

  • What could be cost of total storage of YouTube ? Edit : About billion USD per year.

  • Can you post your source? Last time I checked (and quickly checking around now) I didn't see any announcement from Google about Youtube being profitable.
