In December 2017, competing video sharing site Vidme was convinced that YouTube was generously subsidized by the rest of Google https://medium.com/vidme/goodbye-for-now-120b40becafa https://medium.com/vidme/goodbye-for-now-120b40becafa Google certainly errs on the side of not passing along ad revenues to creators, which could be for brand protection, or could be because YouTube (like most streaming TV) is losing money. They tried to fight YT adblockers and that is also consistent with YT being money-losing or barely profitable.
