Who says that today? This was true about YouTube many years ago, before Google took it over, I doubt that’s still true.

Google have been saying that for ages, that their YouTube advertising revenue does not cover YouTube’s running costs.

Mate 2015 was only yesterday.
Fair play though lol I hadn’t quite realised how long it had been.
Also I wouldn’t take the losses up until 2014 to mean anything except that the 2015 financials hadn’t been published at that time the WSJ article (which both links source) had been written.
