same with justin.tv/twitch

people should stop

@Abel you are right about that tho..

YT red and YT TV saved their shit

Where can I see YouTube's earnings over the years

@Gilgamesh centralized.. 😉

YOu can't!

So you're saying you know they were barely breaking even

But you can't prove it

it's been stated before by them

Bullshit

You can't say they're fucked and only want money and then say they were honest about not having enough

my name is Xombii right?

yes it is good

@Gilgamesh we know from viacom

Google bought them out because of the potential for ad revenue

Clearly they are rich af from ads

they made shit public cuz lawsuit

we dont know shit about it today

but back then yeah we have some data

If creators like Pewdiepie can be multi millionaires then you know the company is rich af

that's govt money

You know they take most of the revenue by far

How is it gov't money

google was started with it

History lesson

and they do contracts for it

@Gilgamesh https://www.wsj.com/articles/viewers-dont-add-up-to-profit-for-youtube-1424897967

Don't tell me to Google it

Yeah so they use ads

Most videos don't get ads

Most viewers then don't contribute to ads

didnt they spent most of last year restricting what videos would get ads?

Yes

@Blackhawk342 ya that's what i was talking about they are looking to increase profit.

they are losing money cuz of the type of system

Because companies advertising wanted to seem PC

google tv here we come

then google will turn into comcast 2.0

No, they're losing money because of PC culture
