    Youtube is definitely bringing back a profit to Google. Probably not huge, but definitely far from 0% return.

    Now they did have to shove way more ads in there to make it happen.

    Having an acceptable ratio between ads and a big media storage seems pretty much impossible, unless subscription based which most people can’t really afford.

      At least Google is smart enough to not put limit caps on video views or posts.

        But while I can afford to pay for my email provider and a few services, there is a large population that is struggling to even pay their rent.
