Why would google run YouTube if it's making negative profit? Seriously. Why would anyone do that?
Am I greedy too because I expect my work to pay more than it costs me to live?
Because of the insane amount of advertising they can do on the massive majority of people who don't use adblock?
Because they hold THE monopoly on video upload?
There are many reasons why a company exists with no profit incentive.
Why do you think they do advertising? It's for profit lol.
