"one billion hours of videos every day." according to Wiki.

So 9.79/365*4 = 11 cents per hour of video.

I dunno what you need to profit from 1h of video.

I was at a talk recently where a person from an ad supported streaming provider broke down their cost/revenue as part of the justification for some of their engineering decisions.

Basically you're lucky to get ad revenue of 10c per hour.
