You don't spend the kind of money staffing a product like YouTube unless there are lots of profits too.

Everyone seems to have read an article from 10+ years ago and haven't updated their opinion since. The internet is wildly different now. Tech makes huge profits.

Absolutely! I find it nuts to see so many people defending giant corporations - it's so backwards.
