of aggregation yes
of another platform, no
why not?
@Poppy Rider said it. Because you will be burning money for a decade
here is a question, if youtube runs at a loss, WHY do they have?
monopoly
on lost money?
just like Uber
just like Facebook
just like Twitter
this is nothing new
Tesla too
Facebook only started to make money _AFTER_ the IPO
you just listed successful companies, (maybe minus tesla), then cited a failing company as being the same
oh, you mean it just takes too long to start making money
yup
okay, new question. how did youtube start in the first place
Uber still operates on a loss
google didn;t always own it
you need to look into that
so they get investors
but never make any profit
until the endgame
the investors foot the bill
you have no idea of the costs of video content. Hell, even if you wanted to host JUST _your_ videos, it costs a LOT
I don't think YT can make money, ever. And be completely free. Far to much server space. The reason Google keeps YT is for the collection of data. It is a gold mine for any AI project. If you get something for free your are the product.
why does it cost money? what is the overhead? server space, and a webface, right?
Google would keep YT even if it didn't make money ever, because it makes money on their other products
and the people to maintain that
traffic costs alone are huge
HD space for the video in 5 different formats is another
Bandwidth and server maintenance.
Google or Mirosoft put a sever at the bottom of the ocean to save on cooling.
well, i just figured out what the first instantiation on the moon will be
although thats not entirely accurate. space is rather hot for being so cold
Supermarkets are offering their frozen storage space to server providers. It's really expensive.
The coldest natural place in the sola system is on the moon. A creater on the northpole has never seen the sun.
first installation on the moon from private companies: a server farm
Let's start with Greenland shall we. And see how we go fro mthere.
i mean, why not start with the Antarctica? land has to be cheaper, less government regs, probably colder too
