Comment on Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish
Dax87@forum.stellarcastle.net 8 months agolol i knew this was coming.
i love how youve reduced global content delivery with hundreds of millions of users down to “oh you can fit a tb in an sd card.” just so you can sound like an insufferable and extremely ignorant prick.
its already known thanks to their quarterly earnings reports that Youtube’s main contributor of profit is its targeted ads, which is due in part to how it collects usere data.
what an entitled idiot lol. But please, continue. Whats your next stupid take.

Youtube the subsidiary, yeah. Because youtube the subsidiary does not do any data selling. Alphabet does. Alphabet is also the ones paying for every single step in the youtube process.
Because they make their money selling data. Not ads.
For someone telling others to educate themselves on the topic, you really dont understand how corporate earnings works, huh?

can you provide a source for alphabet paying for youtubes operating costs? i work for a subsidiary of a different rather large it consulting company (80k+ members) and we very much do and have our own budgeting.
odd that alphabet would pay for youtube’s operating costs since youtube operates at a multi-billion dollar profit.
and i apologize for presuming youre not educated. some of your comments just do not align with my experience in the industry.

Not a source I can cite without risking a friends job, which isnt worth an internet argument.
Alphabet wants youtube making profit, obviously, but they are a data selling business. They didnt buy youtube up because they wanted a cut of their ad market. They shunt data upstream like its their primary job. And from my understanding? Thats exactly how youtube is viewed internally.
So, yeah, Im not really pressed about ad blockers. The company has no funding issues.
