Smart dude.
I personally believe Google is purposefully keeping Youtube unprofitable for the time being so that they have an excuse to completely restructure the pricing and posting system of the website.
Youtube could easily make changes to bring in billions in revenue instead of losing hundreds of millions.

Didn't know that either but now that he revealed that, I know a couple of YT members that followed that exact same pattern.Originally Posted by DR813

Ads at the ends of videos.
Creative banners
Setting up a paid system with exclusive content like cable television.
There are a bunch things that they could do.
I know I would pay $25 a year to watch some high quality content a la HBO from up and coming production outlets on youtube. Even 3 dollars a year from 300 million viewers = 100's of millions in profit
YT >>> Television.
Even the option to download DRM protected videos. Look how many YT download sites are all over the net.
Highlighting different content like Chi City said. Create channels for different topics, comedy, religion, sports, music etc. That way you can more effectively guide viewers to the quality accounts in any particular category. Gaining loyal subscribers and bringing in revenue.
As it stands, they have millions of videos just sitting on servers draining millions of dollars.
Get them videos that have been on for 2 years with 12 hits out of there, unless people pay for server space.
Hulu came out of the gate profitable. Youtube is lunching,

Google bought Youtube from its creators for $1.65B a little more than a year after it debuted..I guess they could see the complications with turning a profit coming and decided to sell early...Smart move I guess..

This same goes for the people that think JB is crap when all they're doing really doing is figuring out ways to make the most money byspending the least amount of money and that my friend is called the Product Frontier JB and Youtube have almost reached this point props to them.Originally Posted by Mo Matik
Why is this so shocking?
Youtube is a company. This is a capitalistic system. The goal here is to make money.
It always amazes me when people think corporations are their friends, looking out for them.
