That's not really a matching analogy. YouTube doesn't just store videos, YouTube promotes videos via its algorithm and it monetises them, giving you a kickback on any ads you let it place on them. It's not in the "video hosting business", yes, but that doesn't mean it's not a business.
Content creators aren't the customer, they're more like contractors.
- anticensor 8y agoContent creators are contractees. YouTube is in the video hosting business, advertisement is an (rather profitable) enablement over that.
