AFAIK youtube is profitable now. It was not for years, but is now.
- eru 2y agoYes, but it could perhaps be more profitable, if they cut spending on this aspect?
- whereismyacc 2y agoFor every year that passes, storage becomes cheaper, but the total size of youtube's video repository grows. I wonder what the net effect of all that is in the end. Ever increasing costs? Or maybe it kinda evens out.

- eru 2y agoInterestingly, if storage cost decreases geometrically over time, then the total storage cost of storing a video for all eternity is finite. Though what I was commenting on here wasn't so much the cost of storing a video at all, but storing it in 'warm' enough storage that you can load it really quickly.
- iamgopal 2y agoWhat could be cost of total storage of YouTube ? Edit : About billion USD per year.
- b3lvedere 2y agoSince when did that stop shareholders to make even more money?
- dnissley 2y agoCan you post your source? Last time I checked (and quickly checking around now) I didn't see any announcement from Google about Youtube being profitable.
