Do you really think that’s sustainable

At $15 a month? Yeah totally. The vast majority of that 2.7 billion probably cost a few cents at most to offer service to. Very few people actually upload anything and streaming video is way cheaper than the various streaming services would have you believe. It's expensive to get off the ground, sure, but it scales well.

Repeat after me, Google isn't the only provider that hosts a lot of content.

Would you like it if the majority of websites became pay per use or subscription only?
