Youtube is definitely bringing back a profit to Google. Probably not huge, but definitely far from 0% return.
Now they did have to shove way more ads in there to make it happen.
Having an acceptable ratio between ads and a big media storage seems pretty much impossible, unless subscription based which most people can’t really afford.

Well a lot of people expect everything to be free too.
But while I can afford to pay for my email provider and a few services, there is a large population that is struggling to even pay their rent.
This is it, really. When people are living paycheck to paycheck which most people are there really just isn’t money to go around to be paying for all these services. The money that could’ve gone to subscription has been taken by increasing costs of groceries
At least Google is smart enough to not put limit caps on video views or posts.
Youtube literally tried to limit 4k videos to paying subscribers but abandoned it(for now)

I don’t think that’s what they meant. I’m pretty sure it was a reference to twitter limiting the number of posts a user can see.
Though it seems google is going to limit the number of videos someone can see if they have an adblocker installed.
Well of course, the algorithm does that so YouTube doesn’t have to lol
