  1. Business Insider. I love it when I can write off the headline and every word in the article as total horse shit without having to read it.

  2. I mean, it’s a lot easier when you making revenue from other people’s content and all you do is host it.

    So then whats all this bullshit about fighting the adblockers? Is that seriously necessary? Is that the biggest opportunity to increase profit when people will ALWAYS find a new way? Clearly ad blocking isnt making a big dent in their business if they’re doing this well.

    Honestly feel a lot of the revenue is from this specific video about a guy having a bad emotional reaction (throwing pumpkins) after seeing his best friend has moved on to a new friend. And I hope whoever made it is getting paid accordingly:

    But isn’t YouTube barely breaking even due to their massive overhead? Or have things changed since?

    Considering I can’t watch a video without watching two ads, then skipping 30 seconds and watching another two ads, then watching for 20 seconds to get two more ads…

    I can see it.

    No shit. That is pretty obvious from the hyper monetization of a 4 minute game trailer.
