But I can only do it on Twitch (not that my internet connection allows more than 5fps)

I think youtube really SHOULD be a public utility. Given that they make no money off it.

ye

It should be like PBS

Do they REALLY make no money from it? I've heard that said a lot, but find it very hard to believe

I have no idea what I'm talking about.

And yes. No money.

It's too expensive.

Like does that just take into account ad revenue?

Or data collection as well?

Well, hosting the videos costs something too.

YT loses money on average every year

I'm not sure if they've ever made a profit

Sure, but to just look at how much revenue they make doesn't get the full picture on actual profit

They clearly view it as worthwhile to keep running, so they must think they're getting something out of it right?

You're not sure? Well I can make you sure: They haven't.

Why am I being questioned

You peons dare?

yes

@Scribblehatch inb4 YouTube should not be made public, just because it doesn't make a profit

A lot of widely used companies make no money

but still service loads of people

Because when you make something public, it gets more expensive

@Timcast H3H3 did get their ability to livestream back again

yea I updated my video right after it went up

Why does youtube always pull this retarded shit just to reverse it in the morning

Scream test.

If there's no scream, they don't reverse it.

You make a good point

it shut them down

then they go oops

but the podcast is over

True

Welcome to YouTube - "Oops"

Surely Youtube of all people knows that the Streisand Effect will just make the podcast more popular for it...

I mean, it's bloody google!

It's hard to not believe these companies have nefarious intentions anymore

They know who searches what when

Like, I can only imagine that the moderator that picked that battle got fired...

Just set the precedent that sometimes people get oopsies banned, and now you're able to ban whoever you want and just roll it back if there's enough outcry

"Ooooopss"
