I thought that this must be an exaggeration but I just looked at the account and at this time the account has 20 videos posted in the last hour.

I know Youtube/Google has a ton of resources -- but won't accounts with garbage/spammy content like this cause long-term issues in regard to wasting resources? Surely, Youtube would protect itself against something like this in its ToS, right?

As long as they get clicks, show ads, and compress adequately well, why?
