YouTube is probably the most expensive streaming app, and there are still ads (sponsored sections) in nearly every video.
- tintor 1y agoSponsored sections are baked into video and very easy to skip. Unlike platform ads which disable video control while the ad is playing.
- jeffbee 1y agoCannot find any factual basis for the claim that YTP is the most expensive streaming app. Is this the case in some non-US market?
- jerjerjer 1y ago> ads (sponsored sections) in nearly every video. SponsorBlock for YouTube resolves the issue.
- conductr 1y agoNo idea if this is right but based on AI summary google results, annual operating costs for Youtube is ~$3B-5B and Netflix is ~$25B-30B. While YT probably spends most on CDN/bandwidth, they have a mostly free content cost which is by far Netflix's largest expense
- iamdelirium 1y agoBy that metric, every streaming platform has ads since they serve movies with product placement.
