so when was youtube profitable?
Youtube wasn't burning billions per year and it's also pretty much the primary entity for video for the whole world which has other benefits for google. Finally Youtube can be monetized through adverts, since storage and bandwidth costs are relatively low. Whereas GenAI's compute costs aren't.
x doubt
Can't they put ads into the responses?
If they could, they would have already.
An ad before and after every single question you ask chatgpt? Worth a shot, I guess !
I don't think Youtube was ever profitable, to be honest.
