    The ad revenue is a portion of what the advertisers paid.

    YouTube DOES get its content for free. They pay YouTubers per view, essentially a portion of profit, whereas something like Netflix pays for the creation of content and then also a portion of profit made.

          How much data left is there to sell about me? Pretty sure they know pretty much everything about us already.

          My surfing habits change a little, but it’s mostly cyclical.

            They don’t need new data to sell, they just find a new client who doesn’t have your info yet.

        The point is that that’s in their own interest, because if they wouldn’t host it, they wouldn’t make any money.

          I know you’re mostly joking, but Google does sell your data/browsing habits for advertising, being able to show car dealership ads to someone who’s browsing history indicates they’re in the market is extremely valuable. It’s not just about things “about you” like demographics/location, but an active, rolling profile about where you’re most likely to spend your money.
