I suspect Youtubes main opex is bandwidth. So it all depends on how traffic costs develop over time in relation to advertising revenue. Could this be a motivator for Google Fiber? By cutting out the middlemen, they can lower running costs for their own services.
- Joona 12y agoDefinitely. They try to compress the videos as much as they can, load comments only if you scroll down etc.
- icebraining 12y agoI doubt lazy loaded comments have anything to do with bandwidth concerns - a page full takes less than a single frame of video. Most likely, it's to avoid internal IO, especially now that they're pulling comments from Google+ as well.
- unicornporn 12y agoI believe storage won't be a cheap thing either for this type of business. 300 hours of new video every minute[1] is a lot. [1] https://www.youtube.com/yt/press/statistics.html https://www.youtube.com/yt/press/statistics.html
