    They had paid for it for years. The sustainability relied on the range of services vs the service itself. For example, Walmart doesn’t really profit on big tvs. Typically the markup is negative. They combat this with the price of add on devices, wall mounts, hdmi cables, etc. It’s not a this or that for me. It’s the choice of the company to change it up to be more profitable.

    Let’s be real, the point of a business is to make money. More money = more success, right? But what happens when you reach one billion dollars? Is one more billion more successful?

    This is where my brain says fuck you. One billon means you’ve won. Stop being a greedy dick.

      Yes. With the intent of making a profit eventually. Or they wouldn’t have.

      What is YouTube going to “combat” with if not advertising or subscriptions…?

      One billion means nothing if you’re spending tens of billions per year to continue operating. I’m not suggesting the CEO of YouTube deserves to get richer. I’m saying the company has operational expenses and investments that require some level of profitability, and “free for everyone forever” is literally just not a viable option.
