No one here wants to talk about the realities of running such a massive video hosting operation.
No one is a serious competitor due to how large of a mountain it is to climb to compete. With every minute that goes by, YouTube becomes even more massive.

I don’t doubt that they sell data, but it would have to be monumental to actually fund all their hosting needs.
