Yup. The reason YouTube is so hard to dethrone is is because of that expense. It's really hard to pay for without some very sleazy strings attached.
That's what I was getting at with my second sentence. Someone has to make up that loss, and that someone is very likely calling the shots on content moderation.
It’s probably due to illegal funding from Google into Youtube.
Google is abusing their monopoly in search to destroy competition in video hosting.
See the Sherman Antitrust laws.
Yeah, YouTube doesn’t make money, but AdSense does, and guess what Google combines with it on their revenue sheet?
