They apparently barely make money on it
could always charge like 20%, then just let people stay up regardless
then some random engineering channel that was like 3rd highest also self yeeted in protest
It's part of why they've been so bizarre with ads etc
Huh, interesting
youtube has never turned a profit afaik
charge enough, and you can afford to ignore virtue signaling shit
@Tewdrig but if it keeps going like this, eventually all the actually good shit will be gone. so they'll still exist, but it'll be just lame normie shite
it either has a slight profit, or pays for itself
its not *as bad* as they let on
Yeon are you telling me you *don't* pay for youtube red and their *premium* youtube content
I wonder who the engineering guys were
plus they dont have to post income
its not public
Oh, it's definitely not that bad
they make enough to keep it around
But it's not like it's their biggest money spinner
otherwise theyd just yeet it
youtube died when they sold out to google
Even if it was a slight loss they'd keep it because it's a household name
youtube is a fucking ghost of its former self running on the dregs of talent that has long since fled
its pretty impressive
and general server architecture
how you can have so many watching at such high resolutions
without serious issue
Yeah. Technically it's an amazing achievement
someone please create an alternative to youtube that doesn't hate it's creators
their hdd blades are pretty impressive
google owns streets of buildings that are just thousands of servers
well youtube is gonna be around for another 20-30 years but its gonna slowly be a palce for trailers family freindly stuff and music
so shite
basically
yeah unless someone breaks the mold in some way
hopefully we'll still have liveleak for breaking news uncensored footage then
only thing i know liveleak is for , is for weird people who want to see someone get shot
We already have an alternative to YouTube; Pornhub
or someone cutting themselves
ive only ever seen isis beheading videos on liveleak
or disturbing AC-130 footage
or just watch chinese people make gutter oil
