Totally didn't have to be this way

Youtube has never been profitable

This is also why they can't conceive of anyone making any jokes... they have no idea what jokes ARE.

Google probably wishes it would die outright so they could introduce a new, even more invasive monopoly on video content

My past 6 or so YouTube accounts have been banned, Sam. But, I have thought about creating a bit of office space, so I can begin channeling my thought on YouTube.

I'm not convinced that's true

I think the ads just count under google ad rev

No, Youtube has literally never been profitable

Google just bought Youtube to stop anyone else from getting it

Yeah, but only 30% of ad views are monetizable, right?

It's a consolidation tactic

The rest of the audience uses ad blockers.

Google will buy Facebook when it collapses too

I'd have to look at their finances before being bought out

I use adblocker

No, YT is quite profitable, more so than any of the alternatives, likely now more than ever for political junkies.

As content creators?

It can be but not from ad rev

YT is profitable for content creators, but it doesn't make Google any money

At least, not the site itself

And I know I'd be banned for being not too spicy but for harassment basically

Don't they get a percentage of the ad revenue?

Yes, but the maintenance cost for Youtube is a BITCH

It'll only get worse as they become more and more top-heavy.

The sheer amount of data being uploaded daily is mindboggling

Everyone used to do response videos and the left cried harassment but I wouldn't change my behaviour

Yeah.

I'd encourage comment section raiding imao

Lmao I love they just got rid of video responses

I'd say be polite but they don't care

@livid_scrooge.

Its easy to win if you follow the formula the Quartering rose way faster then Sargon and its just because of playing the game the right way

Google would probably rather Youtube die so they can launch a cloud-integrated videosharing platform from the ground up, than just overhaul Youtube's data structure

Even TED copyright strikes videos that portray their speakers in a negative light.
TED. Whose motto is “Ideas worth discussing”.
Honk honk.

Soygon would have 2 million subs if he put all his content on one channel and asked people to like comment and subscribe

And be vaguely engaged with the audience once and a while

You know have injokes and stuff

Sargon's the rare youtuber who actually gives a shit about things happening IRL and just uses his youtube as a video repository

The very idea of that broke Metokur's will to live

perty much
