      For someone who doesn’t care and has no viable responses to the questions here, you sure do have a lot to say.

      I don’t really care if the make poor decisions and end up with an unviable business model. I’ll do other things with my time.

      Alternatively, they’ll take steps towards a more viable business model, and you’ll also find other things to do with your time.

      I’m willing to put in time and effort to make sure I see as few as possible.

      You can zap all ads forever with a few minutes and a credit card, if you’re willing.

          We have no idea if YouTube operates at a loss or is profitable. Google won’t say. Revenue really tells you very little when you look at what it takes to run something like YouTube. It’s a huge reason why an open competitor is so hard to make work.
