that would be a bit creepy and opportunistic if fb did that. Yt videos are by and large uploaded for profit. Fb videos are uploaded for storing birthdays and family vacations.

Is that true? I don't have the stats, but I guess a very small percentage of yt videos were uploaded 'for profit'. Like 1% or less? Maybe much less.
