Yes, but also, running Youtube costs about 10x as much as both are paying.
Now that I don't believe
10x may be too much, but they're definitely ~~losing money with~~ spending money on it. Lots.
Any source? Last I heard Alphabet was making mad bank
Now spending/ investing money I believe. But I bet you the hell that they are going to be using all of their YouTube data to train llms and probably sell that training data. At some point. There's no way they won't be making bank
Only if you didn't count the data scraping for advertisement part.
