Google takes 45% of the revenue that they go out and get for you while they cover 100% of all expenses... Not the worst deal I've heard of. Seems like a better deal than app stores that take 30% of the revenue that you go out and get yourself.

... Is this reply for real? This is absurd and disingenuous. Google is one of those 30% app stores. Google/Youtube also absolutely does not cover 100% of the expenses and certainly doesn't "go out and get for you" the revenue. Google/Youtube doesn't pay anybody shit for creating the content that populates their network. Google should be on its knees thanking these content creators, not clubbing the altruistic creators of free software over the head with their insidious racket. This must be what it's like talking to Apple fanboys about paying double for overpriced garbage hardware.
