Some analysts predict YouTube to bring in $15 billion in ad revenue in 2018. If so, they are losing around $28,000 for every minute they are down.

Could be more (people stop watching and go outside) or less (people go back later to watch what they would've watched anyway, and free advertising for everyone talking about it) depending on several things.
