  Is youtube actually profitable?
  • robdimarco 18y ago
    Depends on your point of view. Certainly it was profitable for the investors. So is the question has YouTube ever been cash flow positive? I do not believe that Google breaks out earnings specifically for YouTube, and I am not sure that they differentiate search earnings earned through YouTube as AdSense revenue or for YouTube. But YouTube certainly does generate significant revenue for Google.

  YouTube is the poster child of "unprofitable success."
